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.

I'd be happy to take a cycling test, yearly if needs be.
Perhaps get drivers to do the same as they do seem forgetful. In fact, any infringements in the year then just ban them...
"must now serve customers using modes other than a vehicle"
Surely a bicycle _is_ a vehicle? Or do the Americans define vehicle differently?
Why wasn't the roo wearing a helmet and hi-viz?
That robot still has some way to go before it gets the 'wanker!' gesture right.
The crazy ones, or just the only one to survive?
So, how do the cars get in and out without driving in the pedestrian lane?
Also, the Great British cycle lanes tweet contains a picture of a bus stop in Ireland.
Good to see that there were some strategically placed mattresses on that descent.

“Aw, you poor bugger, aw mate.”
Could he be any more Aussie?
It's possible the brick-paved area on the left (in the Brighton photo) is behind the official building line, therefore legally private land not part of the road. But judging by the even more chaotic parking on the other side, it might just be a tolerated free for all.
Riders aren't robots
I think I've just found a way of not cramming pockets full of food, pump, tools and inner tubes - get the mini-Terminator to carry it all and follow you!

Re Brighton. It's official, cars are more important than human beings.
