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.

Looks like he’s got his bike upside down balanced on his Garmin and is trying to remove it while still upside down.
Didn't brake cables stop coming out of the top of the hoods solely to allow upside down maintenance?
Updated rules
I get that putting your bike upside down isn't the optimal repair position if you've got a stand handy, but what are supposed to do if you get a puncture out in the wilderness? Hang your bike in a tree? Ask a passerby or fellow rider to hold it up? As said, the rules are at best wryly amusing and at worst aggressively self satisfied.
Telekinesis?
15k for a work of engineering art seems like a fair price...I would not do the bike justice in terms of my riding ability and my couple of hours of track riding but I would like one......
do you think Lotus will offer a crash replacement service?
Double.
I'm not sure Zac was ever interested in the environment, only in appearing to be interested in it.
Here he is, giving it full spin, earlier this year "Zac backs new environmental manifesto to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss"
https://www.zacgoldsmith.com/news/zac-backs-new-environmental-manifesto-...
And he's against airport expansion "Environment minister Zac Goldsmith says ‘bonkers’ Heathrow expansion ‘unlikely’ to go ahead"
https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/conservative-part...
He's just as much a hypocrite as his boss.
Erm
No, I give up. What are they doing wrong?
Fixing their own puncture?
Play hide and seek?
This is one of those irritating velominati "rules" that are mostly arbitrary (a few make sense), and function mostly as Smugness Enhancement Measures.
