Unless the United Kingdom adopts the Dutch driving laws regarding cyclists this type of roundabout will only increase the numbers of dead and injured cyclists in the UK. Drivers in the UK see cyclists as a target or at least an inconvenience.

Yikes. Looks suicidal for cyclists. Crossing turning traffic - what could go wrong?

Hey, you sure about this one? This looks to me as the opposite of what you’re supporting: the right one has non-priority for pedestrians but priority for cyclists while the left one has equal priority for both, no?

I'm just going to leave this here: These designs have repeatedly been shown to be dangerous for cyclists. Worse, they are inefficient (notice cyclists travel further). Few seem to care enough about a cyclist's time or energy to have measured it, however.

@RantyHighwayman I don't love the ring type. Aesthetically it looks great but I've been in a lot of places on a bike where if the driver had just gone when they did there would not be anyone who could actually challenge me when crossing and I have better angles with the dissidents like Assen.
