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.

"Joshua Harris director of Road safety charity Brake told the London Evening Standard (link is external) that the results indicate more funding is needed.
“These findings reveal that most adults just don’t think it’s safe to cycle on our roads and more is clearly needed to be done to convince them otherwise."
Oh the irony! Brake, the very organisation which has spent thirty years lying about the risks of cycling to convince everyone that it is incredibly dangerous so that they could promote helmets. At least they didn't mention them this time, but then, they do have thirty years of disinformation to make up for. Perhaps if they apologised and issued a statement saying that they were wrong I might have the tiniest shred of respect for them.

Well, that Bob didn't do his research properly, did he?
I feel rather sorry for old Bob. In a time that will live in our collective memory as an Age of Considerable Stupidity he has just outed himself as The Stupidest Man in Britain.
if, that is, he is indeed a man.

".......behind someone that's just eaten 759 Brussels sprouts."
Hopefully there’d be a passing James Burke to capture the moment with some impeccable timing.

Top tip - do not try cycling behind someone that's just eaten 759 Brussels sprouts.
Would inhaling the gas be classified as doping or can riders get a TUE for it?
