On the intersection with Deansgate a crowd had gathered.

Mischance
A man lay on the floor, moaning and rubbing his leg. A bicycle lay on its side. Another man stood by, concerned at the well-being of the injured. A pedestrian had been crossing the road by the green crossing light. A cyclist, ignoring the traffic lights, sailed through and collided with him.
The cyclist lay on the ground, moaning.
The pedestrian stood by, apologising for the accident.
I wondered if it was bad form to kick a fallen man.

Very Ray Bradburyish... :)
Do you put real events up here? I came away with the idea that you didn't care for these cyclist make their own traffic rules.
...careful, or you'll get me started on motorcyclists... and then they'll be lots of foul language.

RA: ta!
lisleman: I promise you that this was true. I walked away before the temptation got too much.
Scarlet: you go for it girl, don't keep it bottled up!
lisleman again: yay! Ta. I suspect I'll be needing it!
I would have kicked the pedestrian for not kicking the bicyclist.
