I can absolutely guarantee you that they knew who was behind them - almost all serious cyclist have mirrors. They probably went through the roundabout at 20 mph or less, which is typically what many cars do and I am sure they entered the roundabout when it was clear to do so. Cyclist have every right to take up an entire lane, as do cars. It sounds to me that they were practicing safe riding.

They went 3/4 around the circle and shifted into the right lane before exiting on Camino Real.
It was like a death wish waiting to happen.
