The incident happened on one of Manchester’s main cycleways, which runs from Didsbury to the city centre via Withington, Fallowfield, the “curry mile” in Rusholme and the university district.


Here is a photo of the cycleway where the pedestrian was hit after walking into the cycle lane. Visibility seems OK, so I can't understand why the man could not see the cyclist approaching.

There is another photo of the crash site in the Evening Standard that shows that the pedestrian was probably crossing between parked cars before stepping into the cycleway.
