Highway Code.PNGroad.cc live blog: Highway Code tweet sparks a bit of a discussion, Martyn Ashton gives inspirational talk and more
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.

So there you have it. Cars just don't want to do speeds lower than 30. No wonder they keep bolting and crashing into houses.

The cyclist looks very slightly unsteady as he starts moving, but that is certainly no rason to drive at him! He is very clearly visible and it is perfectly clear what his intentions are.
Isn't it an offence to use your horn in this manner (ie. "It annoys me that you don't have to wait in this traffic jam like I do, therefore I'm going to drive unnecessarily close to you and use my horn")?
This is the best bit from the article...
"The cyclist comes perilously close to the cars driving behind."
Just consider that sentence for a second.

Perfectly legal cutting through stationary traffic to filter down the outside. Impatient idiot driver trying to get 20m down the road so he could stop again.
Hi, sorry for any confusion: our live blog includes short stories with the main topics of conversation included the title. If you scroll down you should have found the post with a link to both our forum topic on the Bristol Post article and also a link directly to the article itself in the text. We're still trying to improve the format of the live blog and would be glad of any feedback to make it more enjoyable - email us at info [at] road.cc or comment back. Thanks!
I see a photo of a stationary bike but no story or links.
Interesting comments.
I preferred this story.
Guys these live blog pages are utterly broken in chrome due to piles of Javascript errors ...
EDIT: Never mind .... pebcak
The cyclist in the Bristol story, not great cycling but no worse that driving I see daily.
