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.

'Contain scenes of minor peril'
Sutton's behaviour has made British Cycling's generally supportive stance of pushing the dirty laundry under the carpet look a tad tawdry. But of course Jess Varnish is a woman and they can't be seen to win against the establishment can they?
burt, that's my new favourite web page!
Some of them are staggering, and almost defy belief.
You only had one job's example is far from unique, and the Warrington CC site "Cycle Facility of the Month" is essential viewing for anyone who thinks that our planners have an iota of competence, including this classic http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/September2008.htm
New book out just in time for Christmas: http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/book.htm
I think that's going on my wishlist.
My favourite one so far is http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/July2017.htm

Senator Craughwell is a brave man, and is willing to learn and to see things from other people's perspective, chapeau. Reminds me of quite a few years ago when we got some councillors in Bristol to ride around the centre; one got off and refused to ride any further.
Make sure you don't feed that tribble, road.cc Dave - that can cause all sorts of problems...
Did Danny MacAskill design that bike path?
Divert? Na. Angle grinder, 5 minutes, job done.
Erm...
I wonder how they expected cyclists to use it? Perhaps cross the road, turn right, follow the railing to the next break in it, then follow it all the way back again...?
It's addressing the needs of the often ignored cyclocross commuters, nice and inclusive, well done.
