I think a problem with bicycle turn indicators is that the lights are too close together to easily determine which way the cyclists intends to turn. Also, I think the headlight would drown out the blinking turn signal. To an oncoming car, or to a car across the intersection, I wonder if they'd be able to tell that "oh, that bike is turning left" or if they'd just see a bicycle with a steady light and (maybe) a blinking light.

I think an arm signal is much more unambiguous, but that wireless signal to the tail light is neat.
