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.

Dunno about the fully tooled up cycle thief, I carry more than that in my pannier! No bolt croppers, no grinder?
if you follow the link to twitter to see the full photo you'll find a large de walt battery powered grinder.
Number of Birmingham cyclists killed or seriously injured at record high, despite the rather grand claims made about how effective the close pass initiative has been in making conditions safer for cycling...
but how do you know without it, the numbers wouldnt have been much worse ?
The point is still valid, despite the close pass intiative the figures have got worse, you can't know what the figures would be without the WMP intiative so we can only go on the basis of the numbers that we do have.
What we can do is find out if there is any cycling increase, compare the casualties and cycling rates to other large cities as well as looking at pedestrian casualties and see what's what.
With all due respect to WMP what they are doing is so insignifcant in the grand scheme of things and I said as much when it was first rolled out. the number doesn't surprise me in the least.
And without the basic data about exposure, how many cyclists there were and are, the ksi figures are meaningless.

At least the Bolide was largely unscathed.
