A brochure explaining how to use these here new-fangled roundabouts.

I couldn't tilt my monitor and it is kinder hard to read sideways, so
I don't guarantee 100% common sense.

The roundabout actually built does not resemble the clip-art
roundabout in the brochure, but is easy to negotiate on a bicycle.

Any advertisement linked to one of my words
was linked without my permission
and is probably a scam.

Coincidentally, the article I wrote two months ago for our bike club
newsletter was on how to handle roundabouts.

In my experience, they work extremely well for cyclists who understand
how to get away from the edge and control the lane, as that brochure
states. I think, though, that the brochure should have included a
warning NOT to hug the curb. That's "right hook" territory.

Driving and bicycling in France, the roundabouts were wonderful.
Clearly superior to American traffic lights and stop signs!

Palo Alto has a couple of crazy half-roundabouts that have two
sides with stop signs and two sides with no signs at all. Very
confusing. I could use a brochure explaining how to use *them*.

Hmm. Sounds like weird road designs aren't aimed only at cyclists,
after all!
