Thats the thing with biking, at that speed you dont need signals or anything. People will just figure it out.

And accidents are rarely fatal.

As long as you wear a helmet.

These are bikes only, very low speed interactions. The sort where if you do bump into someone, it’s just a foot on the ground at worst.

Not really that necessary in NL. Most people are cruising the city at 18-20kph. The fietsers on the ebikes obviously go faster, but in heavy traffic, you’re not gonna go full speed anyhow.

Just wear a fucking helmet, looking like a dweeb is better than brain damage.
