Live blog: Who'll be the 500,000th cyclist on the Embankment Cycle Superhighway? and much more

…Another drafting scandal, bin those gel wrappers, new Brick Lane Bikes… er, bike
 

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.

20s penalty when you draft the moto's for 3/4 course, typical bs 'penalt'. It's deliberate so needs harsher, that's why riders, not just Aru will continue to cheat this way, sticky bottles etc. Nibali his fellow countryman did one of the worst examples of this not so long back.

I bought narrow replica/lookylikey CF mudguards from RSP years ago, not much difference in weight but all the advantages of traditional mudguard materials. 

Oh and well done to Raleigh, people getting about doing ordinary everyday stuff who happen to be on a cycle without feeling the need to adorn them with superfluous attire. laugh

I cut my f**kin' hedges on Saturday morning and mowed the lawns, and did a run to the tip!  Can I please ride my f**kin' bike in peace now?

Sturmy Archer, Campagnolo on my mind! Or perhaps a Lilac Harry Quinn?

Half Man Half Biscuit, eh?  I think I preferred Carter USM.
