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.

One of my favourite climbs is the cat and fiddle.
I'd always assumed that the shop called something Bianchi at the bottom of that climb in Macclesfield was a Bianchi-related bike shop. I only ever passed it on a bike, and 'bike stuff' was at the front of my mind, it being the cycling gateway to the Peaks for me. I intended to pop in if I was in Macclesfield for any other reason than bombing into the Peaks and then back home on the bike.
Found out a few years ago that Arighi Bianchi was all home furnishings and nothing to do with bikes. It doesn't sell Ferraris either.
True story.
What colour will they be?
This is great news, because so far Bianchi's top end offerings have been just too cheap for the average cyclist.
FFS!
