Jack has been writing about cycling and multisport for over a decade, arriving at road.cc via 220 Triathlon Magazine in 2017. He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Yes, unfortunately with all local authority contractors there always has to be the caveat "if it's done properly".

VR could help
doziesmotorists appreciate what it feels like on a bike when squeezed by a lorry / nearly T-boned by a turning car / taken out by an earphone-wearing pedestrian / close passed / aggressed by cars on roundabouts.Maybe the police could require drivers to experience 30 minutes when they drive badly ...
Oh so 'teaching' cyclists where the failings in large vehicle design is going to save lives, you blame shifting twats ... AGAIN! Are these people related to the THINK wankers who like to victim blame those being killed by left turning HGVs/buses who overtake and turn in without any fucking consideration or bothering to look or a failure of vehicle line to see anything.
Get Fucked!
Or find yourself naively on the inside track of an HGV turning left REGARDLESS OF WHO IS TO BLAME AND HOW THAT SITUATION CAME ABOUT, and get killed.
Knowing the hazard does not remove the need to fix the problem, but general awareness of the dangers in the world around you is not an unreasonable thing to teach.
Maybe teaching the drivers, operators and designers of these vehicles (maybe MPs, police, CPS and juries too?) would be more effective in reducing road deaths to zero by the time we've destroyed the planet and civilisation has moved on to another solar system. Sorry, I mean the ambitious target of the year 3147.
I won't bother taking an early lunch to pop to Elephant and Castle just to confirm that lorries have poor visibility and can easily kill people. (Even though I'm curious about the VR tech.)
Are they selling those posters anywhere? Want.
Boobies!
Looks like a nice aero jersey, quite light too I expect.
Can't get much in the pockets though.
Am sure it would remove the need for hi vis.
Mikkel Conde needs to see Lance for some testosterone patches.
