    in the Netherlands people often do signal left while on the roundabout but that feels mostly because of cyclists who also do so.

      Do they have cyclists and cars in the same roundabout at the same time?

      Do any of them survive?

        Yes they do; seperate paths.

        The red ones are bicycle paths.

        Roundabouts and bikes aren’t really a problem? It’s normally safer to do them normally than dismount and use the pedestrian crossings like they seem to want you to do (unless there are traffic light controlled crossings)

        You just have to hold your lane like you are a car.

          In theory, probably not.

          In every single situation that I have experienced, when both car and bike were in a roundabout together, there was some kind of problem (mostly not serious, fortunately).

          You just have to hold your lane

          Yes. Most times one or both did not do that.

        My experience as a cyclist has been that I’m generally the safest I can be when I ride in the middle of the car lane.
        That includes roundabouts.
