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.

It strikes me as strange that ms Little complains that people attack her without asking her to explain her reasons for opposing the route but makes no attempt to provide an explanation! Is she programmed to only supply information when it's requested?
As for people attacking a 21 year old, please, grow up! God only knows how she copes co the real world.
Can you imagine the outcry if they built a bus shelter in the middle of a road.
The commentors of the local newspaper site wouldn't be saying "just get out and push your motor vehicle around it" now, would they.
What gets me is when contractors decide to block the cycleway with completely irrelevant "Roadwork" signs, intended as information for motorists.
I quite liked the road tax quote. However, since it's a borough council, then it's really about council tax, which unless you are a student or nun, is hard to avoid.
Happens all the time on cycle "super" highway 3 which runs alongside a dual carriageway. What's worse is they are totally invisible at night when you're riding against the flow of traffic with 3 lanes of headlights in your eyes until.youre almost on them. Doesn't occur to the contractors that as well as being a bad idea in the first place, it might be worth putting some cones or reflectives on the rear side so people can see the damn things
The tache soaks up quite a bit of froth and the will dibble down the shirt.
It will also remove the wax, especially the water based ones.
During the colder months I would have to use a more wax based wax as the condensation and then the need to wipe would remove wax.
When very cold small icicles can easily form in the beard.
During the beast from the east I went out on two snowdays for big rides and my rather large beard became a massive chunk of ice.
When my moustache was at it waxed finest, a straws were essential when drinking home made smoothies or pints of Guiness.
I'd've thought that Guiness would condition a moustache and make it even more luxurious.
On that weird cycle infra left hook arrangement, guarantee the side of the road the photo is taken from will be a shared cycle path,its a setup they build to let cyclists cross 'fast' roads more safely in their view,as you present yourself to then cross squared to the road, just like a pedestrian would
Just one problem with that though, you have to "swan neck" into the path of other road users to make sure you cross the kerb at a angle large enough that you don't fall off. There is a similar setup like that on the way down to Bracknell to go straight over a roundabout you first have to turn left onto the PAVEMENT then try to rejoin the traffic flow by turning right at the narrowist part of the road (roundabout exit with traffic island) there are no signs whatsoever to warn drivers and the "dropped" kerbs are two inches high!
It is far safer to stay on the road
I've found a particular technique of shaping my lips around the edge of a glass or cup that makes using a straw completely unnecessary.
There are a range of disabilities,that make that difficult or impossible to work for everyone,sometimes a straw is absolutely necessary
Granted, but I doubt that Silca are aiming for that market.
Not an option for everyone though.

Planet-X have been selling Ti drinking straws for ages - a lot cheaper too! £5 BARGAIN! https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CPJOBTBS6/jobsworth-titanium-6mm-bevel-straw
My favourite thing about that artist impression in the header is the van stopped on double yellows. At first I thought it was a good dose of realism until I realised there's a perfectly good loading bay next to it with a load of bikes in the way.
You are permitted to stop on double yellow when unloading
Although looking closer there seem to be single yellow kerb markings, which would prohibit loading at certain times. I can't see any sign though indicating periods of enforcement
Serena Lit puts a statement on social media, then cries bullying when she's questioned, ridiculed over the post.
Get a grip and grow up!
If she wasn't wanting questioned, ridiculed then do not go on social media. Otherwise it is open season to others opinions.
Yet another tory politician showing their contempt for cycling, cyclists and the facts.
