Replace the pink car with a bicycle an A is suddenly not being in the mood to yield anymore.

I was going straight once and had to go back in and do a full turn (180° + 360°) because of that.

All cars will yield to a bicycle in the UK, because less protected members of the road traffic always take priority.

All cars should yield.

When I used to cycle, I'd just go on the pavements at large roundabouts. Not much point in being right but dead.

I personally never had any issues. British drivers are very polite and cautious.

Welp, I'm not in the UK.
Over here, people go with - what is the most threatening to themselves - and it really feels weird that people who have presumably passed the driving exam are worse at roundabouts than me.

I'm a daily cyclist and I think I'd be terrified to bike through a full roundabout. They're absolutely marvelous designs for throughput that doesn't require complex signal automation, but the flip side of that is they're pretty hostile if you're not a motor vehicle. Any truly good roundabout design should include pedestrian and cycle paths along the periphery that have priority when crossing the circles entrances.
