Red Bull Time LapsLive blog: Alex Dowsett to ride Red Bull Timelaps, cyclists shown to be safer drivers than non-cyclists according to insurance firm, more tri bikes with disc brakes launch, Tour de France trophy stolen from the NEC Cycle Show + more
Our live blog can sometimes be a little slow to load, so give it a few seconds to boot up. If you're still having no luck, try refreshing the page.
Jack has been writing about cycling and multisport for over a decade, arriving at road.cc via 220 Triathlon Magazine in 2017. He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

If one scrolls down a bit from that nice NL street scene you'll find a deliberate close pass on someone using a speed pedelec and the same user gets pulled out on by a van a few days earlier. if people think that Dutch drivers are any more considerate than ours they are deluded.
I've been commuting by bike everyday for several years. When I drive my car, I feel like I'm about to fall asleep. I more or less hate driving now.
And your car feels like some huge ungainly barge, like trying to move an oil tanker around the streets (or is that just me?)
No, I also drive an amphibious vehicle. Tricky to park but causes a real splash at the beach.
Just bought a blue fruit bowl with gold detailing from some random bloke down the pub with a brummie accent. Looks hideous but it was going cheap.
Cyclists make better drivers? Shock fucking horror. Least surprising news of the day.
I'll check the hedge on my way past Beulah Hill tonight.
Given the average age that Collies live to it would more likely have to be Pickles Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandchild that you would need.....
