When he is not engaging with national retailers, such as Stage Stores and Academy Sports, Robert Wohlleber is an outdoors enthusiast. He is particularly fond of cycling and walking.
Whether an individual is enjoying a leisurely ride through their neighborhood or engaging in a longer, more physically intensive ride, it is important for cyclists to make use of several hand signals to inform pedestrians, drivers, and other cyclists of their intentions. Turn signals rank among the most commonly used hand signals for cyclists. A left turn can be signaled by raising the left arm parallel to the road and pointing in the direction of the turn. A right turn signal can be accomplished by making the same gesture with the right arm, or by raising the left arm, bending the elbow to form a 90 degree angle, and pointing up.
Stop signals are also important, particularly for riders at the head of a cycling group. A stop signal involves making a fist and placing it at the small of the back. If a rider is stopping due to an obstacle or debris in the road, they should signal the obstacle to other riders by straightening their arm and pointing to the impacted area. If the debris is difficult to see, such as sand, cyclists should spread their fingers wide while pointing.
