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.

Just out of interest - does the regeneration put the brake lights on or not ?

And they still wear out the tyres, another source of particulate pollution.
They take up a parking space (or block the pavement) and extend a queue just as effectively as a fossil fuel car.
They are similarly capable of intimidating or injuring other road users.
They require maintenance and there are serious concerns over battery life and the environmental and social impact of the mining industry.
The inefficiency of distribution via the National Grid means that the increase in demand for electricity generation if lots of people switch will require disproportionately more electricity to be generated.
Alongside cycling, electric scooter (mopeds) tick a good number of boxes. Two wheels FTW.
TdF jerseys look nice this year.. but honestly, I'm only spending my money on stickers.
I wonder how many yellow jerseys (merchandise) they sell each year - can't be many surely?
