  • @DIFFO in the commute. Then got called 'Polish Cunt' by a Uncle Fester impersonator. All good fun

  • Spotted - One, maybe two riders down in Manchester tonight. At the big roundabout near Chester Rd. Ambulance in attendance as I went by. Had a stretcher out, looked like they were conscious though. Fingers crossed.

    It was on Chorlton Rd side where the cyclists have to cross the road if using the cycle path. aka the cycle path where cars rarely stop and let cyclists pass.

  • ^ :( hope rider(s) ok.

  • ^ ditto.

    That's my commute in and out of town every day. Drivers are so impatient around there.

  • Discussion on stw

    Point about the bridge defo useful for anyone heading off Deansgate to Chorlton, much nicer route.

  • Sounds like she's okay which is good news. As per the conversation on that site, I only use the cycle lane on the way to town from Chorlton, when coming out of town I find it much easier and safer to use the roundabout.

  • Glad she's ok.

  • Try and avoid that path as much as possible glad she is ok, off topic saw this fresh dolan done really nicely with ominiums and chubs lovely

    Hey Lewis,

    nice bike, the black one

  • unfortunately this pump is broken now

  • Who installed it/manages it?

  • I'm not sure. I was trying to find out but only found the company name ("Grease Monkey" or something like that), and some legal spiel protecting the UoM if anyone injures themselves through mis/use of the tools.

  • If you grumble to UoM they might fix it?

  • V.nice Red Pinarello crossing Wilbraham on Yew Tree.

  • @rhb I don't have any easy way to contact them, but the whole "station" seems to have vanished. I am hoping that they have taken it away for repair.

  • Dark red, tall rider?

  • Yellow & Blue retro looking jersey...?

  • Yeah could be being fixed...

  • Dunno, but @Kompute has a big dark red old Pinarello and often rides through Chorlton.

  • Not me. Though i do also own a yellow and blue retro jersey. Someone trying to be me maybe (and who can blame em!).

  • Yeah defo wasn't kompute that time.

  • Guy on a grey specialized coming out of Mount Street onto Peter Street around 5 tonight. Had a chain wrapped over his shoulder.
    Gave me a disgruntled glance as I get reaccustomed to Manchester and fixed

  • That guys a courier. He's in Pop Up Bikes often.

  • Mark? The miserable dude?

  • That's the one. I couldn't remember his name. Always looks super grumpy.
