Here at road.cc your aesthetic well-being is always one of our top priorities, there’ll be no cycling fashion faux pas on our watch! That’s why we got together with some of cyclings’s top style gurus * (no, really!) to ensure that every road.cc user can be on-trend, on the road this season. So, for maximum cycling pleasure it’s got to be plaid dad! And, after some discussion and a fair amount of ‘creative tension’, we’ve gone for black and powder blue (Gok was adamant) rather than black and powder pink, but let us know what you think… maybe we’ll go pink with the next lot. We’ll be offering a limited run to start with in small, medium, large and extra large. There will definitely be a short sleeved version (as pictured) and we may also do a long sleeve too – once we’ve decided whether sleeves are in or out. The jerseys should be available in early October – we’ll let you know the pricing nearer the time. For those who can’t wait and ‘must have" this winter’s ‘must have’ jersey please form an orderly queue here: info@road.cc 
* these things are so objective though aren’t they?

Can't agree with that comment. The race is the race - they're not gladiators there for your entertainment. I can recall plenty of very (very) long, dull Giro sprint stages in the men's game.
Yep - they went down the individual vehicle registration route for the purposes of the article, rather than it being type approved.
@John Emms From DVSA guidance notes on EAPCs "There are many products known as ‘e-bikes’ or ‘e-cycles’ available on the market. However, not all of these are classified as EAPCs. To be classified as an EAPC under the EAPC regulations[footnote 1], the cycle must: " etc. "footnote 1. The Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Regulations 1983 SI 1983/1168 as amended by the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (Amendment) Regulations 2015 SI 2015/24."
Apparently Riese und Muller fixed it for them: https://road.cc/ebiketips/content/advice/advice/buying-and-riding-an-s-pedelec-in-the-uk-1637
There must be at least one as this very site (or was it its sister?) had an article reporting on using a legal "speed pedalec" in the UK. (Would post link but it would probably be caught by the moderation system!)
Good luck in East Yorkshire. I am not well informed but suspect that is very much car country there.
This is a shocking near miss, especially after the recent death of Fin Tarling. However, the article describes the Portuguese driver as ignoring a race warning sign, which from previous articles did not appear to be the case. I have an unrelated comment about yesterday's stage. I watched around 90 mins of yesterday's stage and found it pretty dull. One rider broke away, gained around a minute before being closed down. Nothing much happened for the next 45 min. It appeared that the peleton had settled for a bunch sprint with around 80 km to go. I switched over to test match special radio coverage. If better TV coverage, sponsorship and pay are expected, then maybe more aggressive tactics should be encouraged?
@bensynnock Yes, but I think edjz was referring to pedal cycles with an electric motor - I don't know if there any non-EAPC-compliant examples of those with type approval.
@Geoff H And how often does this work is this purely scaremongering and often repeated rubbish. People don't sue the car manufacturer when they crash their car and the brakes didn't prevent the accident, the tyres didn't grip well enough, the windscreen wasn't tinted enough, someone put a speed bump in the road etc. This just sounds like rubbish that people use to justify stopping kids doing something fun that has some risk to it.
...(so assuming they're "type-approved" if MOT exists) ... and have the appropriate category on your driving licence (or presumably have done your CBT and have an L-plate), have got that insurance, wear an appropriate helmet and only ride on the road in accordance with the conditions for that kind of vehicle... but other than that, it's basically order on the Internet and go...

Mundo, It’s got to be plus fours to complete the ensemble… we might be able to help you out there. We’re in negotiations and It’s all hanging on this year’s tweed harvest.
Free-range Tweed
At the start of the year the global price of Tweed went through the roof when found it was able to power old Volo estates. 🙁
And recently the exclusive ‘Free-Range’ Tweed stocks were kit hard by the flooding. The poor things got too water logged, most to the point that they couldn’t swim to dry land and perished. 🙁
re: Free-range Tweed
So you can imagine what that’s done to he price of the sort of ethically sourced organic tweed that we were after – Rapha have pretty much bought the lot – the last tweed in Scotland is theirs, and all the Nepalese yeti hair (much rarer than the Tibetan rubbish), so bang go our plans for a range of lightweight, yet strong, man-bags and gloves too…
