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'm a little pissed off with Bkool. I have had one on order for three and a half months, with excuse after excuse given to my local bike shop by the supplier why it was delayed time and time again. Now I know the reason why. Poor show from them.
As above. Hopefully their support gets better. I'm lucky enough to have a "spare" power meter to use instead of the one on the trainer that bkool aren't interested in fixing.
They should focus on folding up. I had a bkool pro which was a piece of crap, really hard to connect to anything and ended up giving really high resistance and only reading about 50w.
The software is also rubbish imo. The front end of Zwift is simply 'ride' if you want to just get on with it before choosing anything. Bkool is (or has been in the past)totally convoluted. I remember at one point having to go the bkool website to load in a route of gps data as you couldn't do it directly from the app.
I see VirtuGo also folded as well. Not surprising if you've used it.
