That sounds horrible. I think that is considered cruel and unusual punishment. Good luck. At least you won’t get lost.

I was going to suggest going for the open to automobile traffic roundabout world hour record.

I love roundabouts, and am looking forward to my town adopting more of them for our main roads.

That’ll be a pretty tough ride! Hope you can find a large round-about to spin.

Jesus I thought I was sad with the stuff I get up to. I going to print this off and keep it my wallet as a evidence that I could be getting up more useless things like riding around in circles . Thanks for this.

While watching the Vuelta the last couple weeks, it seems Spain has some MASSIVE roundabouts, maybe create an International Roundabout Week and go for the record there. Oh, most of the smarter countries already have a ton of them so they don’t need to raise awareness. My guess is that the petrol, tire and brake pad companies here in the USA lobby against roundabouts here.
