So you are cycling in secondary in the LH lane coming up to a roundabout as described by the OP and there is a steady stream of cars coming up behind and past you. How do you get across to the RH lane?
No I'm not in secondary in the left hand lane. That would be stupid given that lane leads to a motorway. It's on the roundabout the look over the left shoulder is essential to catch the drivers that are in the lane for the motorway but then go straight on and try to out speed me to go straight on.
So assuming its two lanes running up for a few hundred yards to the roundabout and the left lane is for turning onto the motorway slip road how do you get from that inner lane to the outer lane? Or do you cycle the entire length from where it breaks into two lanes in the RH lane?
By the way, IME a left shoulder look usually tells them "He's in the other lane and seen me so its OK to go straight on and pass on the inside"
