Your link doesn't work.

Cheers Wachy.

I don't think I'll give up signalling at Roundabouts though.

It's just saying that you are no longer legally required to if it makes maneuvering difficult or dangerous, and it says to indicate if practical. It's not saying you can't.

Yup. The previous need to continuosly signal could be a challenge sometimes.

gradient changes / need to change gear / using the eyes in the back of your head / crossing infront of cars / changing direction / chew gum all at the same time.

I'll still be letting cars know where I am going to the best of my ability.

I didn't know the cellphone ban also extended to cyclists...oh boy, not sure how that will go down with our pedallies and their handsets

if you're still allowed to use a radio as a driver then surely you can still use one as a pedally, i have a corded mic to keep my radio out of the way.
