The Dutch roundabout design is amazing for cyclists. See here [0] for a more detailed explanation, but the tl;dr is: Second, outer ring that's a bike lane - mot

  In Cambridge we have recently had both our first Dutch roundabout and our first few Cyclops [0] junctions and I have to say I actually prefer the cyclops. Yes, you lose momentum if you want to turn and the throughput doesn’t match a roundabout but you can use it as a normal cross roads if you want or use the protected turn with lights around the ring without worrying about whether cars have actually seen you and understood that it’s your right of way. My opinion might change if I lived somewhere where people were used to Dutch roundabouts.
