i agree, signalling is a courtesy and smoothes out many traffic manuvers, but as the OP stated, he had no signal for "staying in the bike lane until the fast overtaking motorist has passed"
I was serious about wether to signal or not. If I know it increases safety and is curteous to others of course I would do it. But often it takes both hands to safely navigate between the bumps and the cars etc.
