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.

Bit of an expensive niche too far. They'll look daft if you're in cycling gear, but riding to the shops, why would I need to spend £160 on some special sunglasses?
It's Rapha though, so someone will buy them to go with their chamios cream that apparently smells of mont ventoux.
" the green transmit just 12.81%" Fick. For £160 for this vaguey Ray-ban esque tat I would have been in at 12.82%, but they have blown it.
And: "the lenses are prescription ready. " WTF?
Really nice, good alternative to Tom Ford et al.
Neither expensive nor niche enough.
Next.
