Finish line fail.JPGLive blog: Epic finish line fail, Body painting L'Etape Colombia sexism row, new UCI approved bikes, TfL 'Exchanging Places' sessions invite cyclists to -drive' HGV using VR + more
Please give our live blog a few seconds to load.. and if it's still not playing ball, try refreshing the page.
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.

VR could help
doziesmotorists appreciate what it feels like on a bike when squeezed by a lorry / nearly T-boned by a turning car / taken out by an earphone-wearing pedestrian / close passed / aggressed by cars on roundabouts.Maybe the police could require drivers to experience 30 minutes when they drive badly ...
Oh so 'teaching' cyclists where the failings in large vehicle design is going to save lives, you blame shifting twats ... AGAIN! Are these people related to the THINK wankers who like to victim blame those being killed by left turning HGVs/buses who overtake and turn in without any fucking consideration or bothering to look or a failure of vehicle line to see anything.
Get Fucked!
Or find yourself naively on the inside track of an HGV turning left REGARDLESS OF WHO IS TO BLAME AND HOW THAT SITUATION CAME ABOUT, and get killed.
Knowing the hazard does not remove the need to fix the problem, but general awareness of the dangers in the world around you is not an unreasonable thing to teach.
Maybe teaching the drivers, operators and designers of these vehicles (maybe MPs, police, CPS and juries too?) would be more effective in reducing road deaths to zero by the time we've destroyed the planet and civilisation has moved on to another solar system. Sorry, I mean the ambitious target of the year 3147.
I won't bother taking an early lunch to pop to Elephant and Castle just to confirm that lorries have poor visibility and can easily kill people. (Even though I'm curious about the VR tech.)
Are they selling those posters anywhere? Want.
Boobies!
Looks like a nice aero jersey, quite light too I expect.
Can't get much in the pockets though.
Am sure it would remove the need for hi vis.
Mikkel Conde needs to see Lance for some testosterone patches.
