Hi,
As pointed out by Fred, a bicycle (even with panniers) is too narrow
for indicators to be effective. I think the only good indicators are
those attached to your glove (or a wristband), because they blink
automatically when you out-stretch your hand. Check
http://www.safeturn.com , also see their "what's new" section for
reviews. I saw them here in Australia at the Bicycle Show and those
little things are great!
Thanks
Roger

thing? Anyone ever seen any that work?
Cateye used to make them many, many years ago (at least 20) and maybe
still do for some markets. Their usefulness is limited by the
narrowness of a bicycle. You could have them out on stalks, but then
they'd get damaged and add to wind drag.I saw something like that when I was a kid. At the time, it seemed
like a silly gimmick, but then so did tail lights. I've never seen
anything like it since.... except that by some freakish coincidence Nashbar happens to have
one on sale this month for $8.95. It's a combination tail light,
brake light (it senses movement of your rear brake cable), and turn
signal. The turn signals still seem like a silly gimmick, but
the idea of a brake light sounds attractive, especially when I'm
riding in a group.http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?sku=13764
