The paper deals with the bicycle traffic issues on the roundabouts and their nearby areas. The bicycle traffic characteristics as well as pros and cons of a bicycle as a means of transportation with the current situation of cycling in Poland have been presented. The authors also presents the results of research on traffic safety of the cyclists on the traffic circles. In addition, the fields of knowledge lacking complete information on the solutions to bicycle traffic on the roundabouts are being pointed out.
