Nearly wiped out a whole cycling club

Similarly, don't go too close to the outside of roundabouts (despite what the highway code says)

Interesting. I take the opposite view and approach: I do stay towards the outside of a (or the) lane on a roundabout as that puts me squarely in the view of the driver of the car/lorry waiting to pull onto the roundabout, and discourages any 'oh I can slip out here and they'll be able to keep right and leave me room' ideas.

I think we're saying the same thing: be where the driver of an oncoming car would be, where the driver of an approaching car is likely to look, not so close to the edge that they can knock you over if they move too soon.
