Hi
I've just started commuting by bike and haven't ridden much since I was a kid. On my route I have a couple of right turns on mini-roundabouts and they cause me some problems. I've tried approaching them in two different ways:
1. I go in the middle of the lane and turn right as I would in car. I've been honked and had a bit of abuse a few times already for blocking the lane and/or been overtaken on the roundabout by people also turning right
2. I stay over to the left but signal right before entering. When I try this cars going straight on overtake and block me from turning.
I don't seem to have the same problems if I go in the right lane on bigger roundabouts. How can I do this better?
Thanks in advance
