Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Those forks may be the wrong way around, but not necessarily.
Kid on L of picture, blue helmet. Either those are reverse arch forks, with the moulding webs unusually on the front, and disc brakes, or they are on backwards.
In fact it would have to be a disk only fork, on a child’s bike that has an old fashioned single piece stem and bars. I guess theoretically possible on a bike built from bits, but unlikely.
How about somebody naming a segment Cockwomble Corner.
Strava segment names. Still looking for somewhere worthy of 'Vimto Mountain.'
Great T.V detective shows that never were: "Cockwoble and the Clown"
What an utter cockwomble. The TT is dangerous enough without clowns like that.
