The "problem" is actually cars not respecting the right of cyclists to use the roads and their failure to meet their legal obligation to pass the slower moving cyclist in a safe and lawful manner, just as they would with a slower moving car. Cyclists do often roll through stop signs when it is clear and safe to do so - probably with the same frequency as cars. Cyclists can be invisible in roundabout and are generally interested in getting through the roundabouts as quickly and safely as possible. Just as cars can be seen doing things they shouldn't, so it goes for some cyclists.

Next on the list would be cyclists who do not observe stop signs and change lanes while riding thru a roundabout, cutting left in front of a car that is exiting the roundabout to continue going straight on the same street.
