Old Street Roundabout is a lot better than it used to be. Completely segregated cycle lanes, cycle-only traffic lights, etc. I wouldn't let it put you off cycling. Do the route on a weekend and see how you feel. There are ways around it too. Going west to east several years ago when OSR was still a death trap I would go Bath St -> Peerless St -> Vestry St -> Haberdasher St.
