Hi guys! This is my first post, its something I've been pondering for a while but it may have an obvious answer so I thought id ask a cycling forum, what is the correct procedure about cycling in a proper lane.
Okay, lets say I'm on a 4 lane road (that being 2 lanes of traffic flowing in opposite directions) cycling North on the left lane of the Northbound road. Up ahead is a roundabout where traffic is supposed to filter into the proper lanes - as the road I'm on will be heading left, onto the first exit whilst the inside lane is heading straight on, to the second exit.
If I want to head straight on, do I take the inside lane before the roundabout? The reason I ask is because I'm always cautious that the rules are mixed up with this type of filtering for cyclists. Better to be safe than sorry!
