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.

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.

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?
