After cycling for six months I rarely come across scenarios that I cannot easily deal with.
However, a new route has led to me to this roundabout:
I approach from the top and want to be off at the bottom.
The problem is as follows: You enter the roundabout in the outside lane and you have to come off the roundabout in the outside lane too. The inside lane is only for traffic approaching from the right in the image above, and the two lanes are separated by double solid white lines. The busiest lane I would say is traffic coming from the right, so on my bike I am dumped into the outside lane with a steady stream of much faster traffic between me and the cycle lane! As tempting as it would be to cross the double white line, it wouldn't be safe as traffic approaching from there know they don't have to give way to the right as it's their lane, and so wouldn't necessarily even be looking for other traffic, i.e. me!
