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

        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.

        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.
