As an occasional cyclist, I'm not sure why you would even attempt to get through that roundabout on a bike, hard enough in a car at the best of times.
Hope the cyclist has a speedy recovery.


Agree

With Caramello the oropi roundabout isn't the easiest to navigate then there's the Barkes corner intersection think we hav all had close calls due to the amount of people not indicating or just taking ridiculous risks instead of waiting a little longer
