cycling_new_zealand_logo.jpgLive blog: Probe launched into hugely successful NZ track coach, Guardian video explainer says "forcing cyclists to wear helmets won't save lives" + more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Fab scared he can't beat Phil, so calling out Froome to deflect?
The hire bikes start at 10,000 IIRC, the 00001 is probably just a case of someone slapping a number on the bike and picking number 1.
A very neat summation of bicycle helmets, well done Guardian. If only the rest of the media, especially the BBC, would get the message. Cue "helmet saved my life" stories.
Just watched the Grauniad video and it pretty much sums up my views on mandatory helmets for cyclists.
