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.

And the people who want to see the world burn will simply break your bike, so when you return to your unstolen bike, you have to put it on your shoulder and lump it home anyway.
No, the thugs will hit the seat post with lumps of concrete until it breaks, or more worryingly hit it, give up, only for the seat post to fail as the rider sets off.
Well of course it's stealable. Whether it'll be usable after being stolen is another matter entirely - but someone might be after the scrap metal (or the wheels, or the pedals,...). Net result is that your bike won't be there - ie. stolen. Just won't be fenceable (resettable for viewers in Scotland) as a bike.
That's a titanic claim.
