Most cars going into a roundabout will concentrate on the right and will be looking for cars before entering. They will not look left and you might be there to the left in front of them. Good drivers are like pilots..look right look left and then right again before the next manoeuvre.

 

 

Oops is where I got hit. White car is going on to Imago. The car that hit me turned left to Karamunsing across the blue cycling lane after entering the roundabout and hit me from the rear starboard quarter. Situational awareness was important and as I saw the car coming at me, I jumped from my bicycle leaving the car to hit my bicycle. My bicycle was under the front bumper and I was at the side of the car. Only damage was a dislodged chain. No other damage or injury. However from now on, we will need an SOP for entering roundabouts. Perhaps walk the bike across. This is defensive cycling because motorists are not always mindful of cyclists. This is the first NOTAC (Notice to Airmen Cyclists).
