Agree. But there are multiple legal ways to drive through the roundabout, like the couple I described. I’m just asking the cyclists for what method they think is safest for a cyclist.
Sorry, but there are only two legal ways of going straight through a roundabout. You may use either lane. Slower vehicles should stay to the right so unless you're bike is capable or maintaining 20MPH you should just stay in the right hand lane. Why would you even think of using the left hand lane. You're already placing your life in danger by riding on a major road or using a roundabout. The left hand lane would increased the danger.
