So I am just getting into commuter biking and was wondering what the proper rules are for a biker going straight at this intersection:

As far as I can figure, you:

-Head to the right around the traffic circle
-When you get to the east end of the traffic circle, there is a break in the pavement for bikes, you use it
-if there are cars heading west (left), are you to wait for the cars, walk like a pedestrian... or ??

Yes the traffic sign clearly shows right turn only, but that is only for cars I believe, as

-Google maps shows the biking route going straight here
-The City's own Bike sign shows the bike route going left, right or straight at this location, meaning, the City expects you to cut through the hole in the pavement they left for bikers

The City sign is bent but slightly visible here:
