Nothing much to say about this really, just watch and enjoy this fantastically executed face plant. It's a perfect ten, we reckon. If anyone knows who Ian is, let us know and we'll send him some road.cc socks for his star turn…

If by 'positive' you mean 'loosing strays at undeserving commenters and then doubling down on it', no - sorry to disappoint.

Not sure why that's a relevant question though - I as far as I can see, nobody has suggested any kind of 'quota' system - they're simply talking about removing barriers so that those of equal ability have equal opportunity. Do that, and equal representation will more or less take care of itself anyway.

Regarding the lack of diversity in the femmes, yes there should absolutely be equal opportunities for all regardless of ethnicity, but (as with all equality arguments) this should absolutely not be at the cost of ability and achievement. Having equal representation for all ethnicities is totally unfair for the riders who earn their place. Equal opportunity is not the same as equal representation.

@chrisonabike All the political parties are populist - they don't exist to serve their community/area/country, they exist to serve themselves and their party. There's a word I'd use to cover them all beginning with c but I won't spell it out here.

The HSE has undoubtedly reduced injuries in the work place. Why shouldn't some of the principals / evidence they've gathered in achieving this be run out to the public. It's really just common sense.

"If London can do it, Exeter can too" While ignoring that London would now have the cycle path having priority OR install traffic lights requiring drivers regularly stop. They pretty much never require the cycle path give way to cars on a parallel carriageway now. Something to do with the idea that drivers know they are crossing the cycle path and the most common case is them approaching from behind at higher speeds than the majority of cyclists can achieve...

@mdavidford "Hmm – the way you’ve edited your post to tone down the suggestion that they were saying something they weren’t suggests even you don’t believe that." Nope, and tbh, I couldn't care less about what you think. Anything positive to add? Nope! just your usual nonsense, so bore off.

@mdavidford OK. So maybe my question should be amended to: are those rates ring-fenced? ie, I'm not paying a lot more for my insurance due to drivers of larger/more dangerous/more expensive vehicles andor the drivers with points.

Guess he should’ve carried his bike over that soft bit like the others.
Having gone over the bars in a race a few weeks ago and knackered my wrist in the process I’m glad to see Ian had a softer, if wetter, landing.

That’s a brand new Crosslight Pro6 that he’s riding [well ‘not riding’]. Disc brakes are good, but sometimes they just can’t save you!

I just had a nice chat to ian on the phone and I’ve bundled him up a jersey and some socks to go in the post. He’s unsure about his new celebrity status but deffo being a good sport about it. Yesterday when we put the story up the vid had received 134 views, now it’s on 11,000… who knows, it might ‘do a Joey’ 🙂
