road.cc live blog: Near Miss of the Day video leads to conviction, plain-clothed West Midlands police cyclist catches close-pass drink driver, 2019 Yorkshire World Champs logo revealed and more

All the latest news from around the site and beyond
 

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

Belting result from the Close Pass initiative. Interesting that the cycling vehicle examiner identified 5 potentially dangerous motor vehicles and put 4 of them off the road. Amazing what you can pick up from at 'cyclist's eye level'  3

Well done West Midlands Police, we need more like you.

Surely that logo for the UCI Worlds in Yorkshire is a joke put out by Lancashire?

"Here is the official logo for the UCI World Championships, launched 500 days ahead of the event. Hot or not? " - umm, well, you know when you try to read a bus timetable after a few too many beers...?
