hi guys and galls, me again.
i got a complaint about how i approach a roundabout.
am i doing it right?
first i am cycling on the far left (as normal) and i want to get to the inside lane, and i need to do it before i actually reach the stop point for the roundabout.
so i watch the drivers pass me, and if i see a gap i indicate, then cross into traffic.
then to get into the inside lane, i do the same.
wait for a gap, indicate and cross.
however because im slower than the traffic a driver thinks i am "cutting in". i have tryd pulling to the inside far before the separation of the traffic. but i always get drivers dangerously, overtake and then often stop dead in front of me.
so my question is this.
how should a cyclist (me) approach a busy roundabout ?
