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 always like the idea of rain capes, but - like many people - my front light is clipped onto my handlebars so a cape would render it useless...
I could be wrong but it doesn't look quite like the cape of old that pretty much covered everything and was a real tent. Tried one once, it came with a job lot of stuff I'd bought for one or two things and thought what the hell, it's fine if going at a very sedate pace but by god anything much over 12mph and it's like pushing a barge.
this one looks quite stylish however and not in that nasty mustard yellow they always seemed to come in, oh and ones with a built in hood always makes people look like a gnome. hahaha
It isn't only "anti-cycling nonsense on the radio" that we need to beware of, it is the media's refusal to report in any proportional manner the benefits of cycling. I mainly listen to R4 and the local BBC station (Bristol) and I couldn't possibly count the number of articles they've had about obesity and diet, it must be hundreds, but I could count the number of articles about the benefits of cycling on the fingers of a closed fist.
Given the overwhelming benefits of cycling, why isn't this top of every programme about pollution, health, obesity, congestion etc? There are two ways to lie: an explicit untruth, or just ignoring the truth and reporting everything else. The media has mostly been lying about cycling for the past thirty years, unfortunately including the BBC.
Is it that hard to believe a cyclist would ride into something while looking at their phone? Car drivers do it all the time, after all.
No. It isn't. I did precisely this while texting and completely separated my shoulder (AC joint) which remains to this day. I don't see why the video has to be staged. He's certainly not the first cyclist to ride into the back of a car whilst texting.
I think Endura's video would've been better if they had a jacket that fitted their model...
Fair's fair: I normally stick the boot into Will Norman, but that tweet comes suspiciously close to him 'getting it'.
Well done Will: have an upgrade from 'walking platitude' to 'stopped clock'.
No capes!

That is one quality image. I needed that chuckle ... which scared the student sat just in front of my desk.
Does that include Rick Wakeman?
... which makes me wonder what the average age for readers on road.cc is. Whenever I see a name like this pop up it reminds me we're probably not a particularly young bunch!
