Beekeeper, sorry but you're 90 degrees out - he's come uphill on the A660 from that crossing, so already somewhat knackered from the long drag. And it's in the dark. possibly rush-hour, so nowhere near as 'mild' as in the Street View. It's a real test of strength to get across the Ring Road (A6120) before the next pulse of vehicles comes at you, never mind doing it in the dark. And if that wasn't bad enough, a lot of cars go left at the Y-junction a few hundred metres further on (Old Otley Road) so you have to leave the cycle lane and try taking the primary position - a bold move!

Incidentally, and I've only just noticed: this Google Street view is a composite, so you can't refer to a particular van in the picture; each time you go round the traffic situation is different. Cross over the roundabout and check out the Tetley's van, then go round the roundabout - it's gone!
