While not explicitly considering roundabouts, we have done a fair amount
of work looking at how people's preferences for different cycling
environments differ by population segment (e.g., sex, age, experience).
Most/all of the work is available from:
http://www.hhh.umn.edu/people/kkrizek/writings.html
(password: krizek research). In particular, I draw your attention to:
Gender Differences in Bicycling Behavior and Facility Preferences
Trails, Lanes, or Traffic: The Value of Different Bicycle Facilities Using
an Adaptive Stated Preference Survey
The Effect of Neighborhood Trails and Retail on Cycling and Walking in an
Urban Environment
Hope that helps,
