All of the items suggested were existing for failed products.

    While approaching a light I can often "slump down" in the saddle and balance the bike nearly effortlessly. The problem with this is that other traffic doesn't trust that you can remain balanced and will often try to offer you right of way which pisses other drivers off. So I normally put a foot on the ground to prevent that. That appears to be the universal signal that you are properly relinguishing right of way.

As fixed gear riders quickly discover, this is progressively easier as you raise CG above the tire-pavement contact.
