Move to the middle of the right lane when approaching the roundabout, stop if necessary to allow for an opening and then stay in the right lane when going through the roundabout. Make eye contact with anyone about to enter the roundabout.

I'm a MMP rider myself, but I do make exceptions sometimes to avoid certain tunnels or other situations. And I just want to know how you think is best to go through the roundabouts.

Thanks.

And please folks, don't turn this into a cyclists-are-bad or MMP-vs-street riding discussion. There are plenty of other threads for that. Thanks for that also.
