"Under the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, bicycles are considered vehicles and cyclists are considered drivers, a naming convention reflected in most traffic codes."

I removed this sentence since I don't understand how that contributes to a general description of the matter.

Moreover, anyone can confirm that people still use the same set of hand signal as described?

In the US riders use primarily the left hand to signal intentions on a bicycle because the right hand is usually on the bike's rear brake lever? Is it different in the UK, using the right hand and leaving the left hand on the bicycle? Are the controls reversed, or is this simply because the two countries drive on opposite sides of the road? Should this discussion be added to the article? -Speedeep 15:34, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)
