Between now and the New Year various members of the road.cc team are picking their most memorable moments from the vast amount of news, review, blogs and features that have appeared on road.cc in the last 12 months.

The Press Complaints Commission contacted us today to let us know their decision on James Martin's ill-considered rant against cyclists in his piece about the Tesla electric supercar for the Mail on Sunday.

Celebrity chef James Martin has issued an apology on his website after angering cyclists throughout the world with tales of recklessly endangering cyclists in a Tesla electric sports car. The star of Saturday Kitchen raised the ire of Bradley Wiggins and Robbie McEwen amongst other notable names, and has been forced to retract his comments.
