Episode 9: Bikejacking, The Rules, and what we really think of red light jumpers

The road.cc Podcast

In Episode 9 of the road.cc Podcast in association with Cervélo, we talk to the pro cyclist who had his bike stolen by machete-wielding thugs in London’s Richmond Park. Alexandar Richardson said he wasn’t surprised by the attack; but after several similar incidents around Richmond Park in the past few days and others reported across the country, is this worrying trend of violent bikejackings becoming more prevalent? Jack, Tony, Simon and George discuss, followed by an interview with Alexandar from sunny Mallorca… where he was forced to escape to in order to avoid another bikejacking before the national championships.
We’re also talking about our cycling pet peeves, and this time it’s the behaviour of other cyclists. Does it really get your goat when you see cyclists sail through red lights while you're there patiently waiting for a green? The road.cc team debate that typical tabloid stick that cyclists are often beaten with, and (spoiler) it turns out that some of us are not that fussed!
