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.

I’d love to add another rubber band held plastic clip around my stem. I think it will really add to the sleek look of my super bike. Oh, and even more so if I clip some specs in there to enhance the aerodynamics.
Whats wrong with using the helmet vents? Works just fine for my sunnies.

Presumably they had to come up with a quirky name like "Billy" because some jerk had already taken, and ruined, the obvious name of "Opti-Grab".
Not a bad idea. I’d quite like one turned 90° so I could put it on my top tube with the glasses sideways
Coo! Or is it woo?
"vent-less TT lids and pocket-less skinsuits. "
I believe you mean visor-less?
Yeah and that - personally I always go with shades for TT's, feel claustrophobic in a visor.
Would be handy for a little pair of ready readers too for those of us of a more advanced age!
what's good enough for Prof. Branestawm is good enough for the rest of us!

"It could also prove particularly useful for triathletes..."
Not necessary, just slide them in your Speedos.
At least they are not trying to fund it on KickStarter.
