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.

From it "The Dutch city built the Netherlands’ first bike lane in 1885"
Nice.
So if Rory Stewart becomes London Mayor he'll find £95 million in his first week to reopen a bridge to motor traffic? And the Chancellor's going to spend £27bn on new roads? What will it take for these Tories to wake up and realise we are in the middle of a climate emergency? They just don't seem to get it.
Well he needs to because shock horror, some kids are being "FORCED" to walk to school. And of course being a good (ex) Tory he has to pander to motorists and spout lies. (In his video linked on another tweet the bridge is apparently closed to cyclists).
The frankenbike also has a front hub dydnamo connected to it's appropriate light, placed next to the superfluous shock boots.
It doesn't have any freakin brakes either!
