I waited my turn and was concentrating on looking left to see a clear spot to enter the roundabout. As I started to enter the roundabout, low and behold the biker was on my right. He was not turning right as I was and I nearly hit him. (Thank God I saw him in time!!) He had passed all the waiting cars at the roundabout on the right and moved up to the front. Is this legal for a bicyclist to pass cars waiting at a roundabout or a red light to pass on the right? Would I have been ticketed if I had hit him? I’m still shaking after this one.

You were in the right!! It is situations like this that give bicyclists a bad name in The Villages and it does not have to be that way!!
