Anthony Napolitano video still via Ride BMX on Facebook.PNGroad.cc live blog - BMX rider almost impaled on fence (video) plus Aru's new jersey falls flat and much 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.

And that's the thing. It's the motorists who are creating the danger, and yet they think it is everybody else's problem to solve.

For me (I’m on a Mac), it’s only the browser I’ve set running adblock that prevents the page loading. It loads fine on the others and without over-intrusive ads. I guess the script blocker is doing the same for FKoT (totally agree with their last paragraph btw).
Anyway for those that are not seeing it on this site, check this

I don't even have an ad blocker and still see nothing.
Mind you, I do have a script-blocker, so I suppose that must be having the same effect.
Thing is, every time I turn off scriptblocking (or, when I used to use it, adblocking) its never very long before I encounter a situation on some site or other that I visit where visitors have been infected with malware from a hijacked advert. Not only are many adverts ridiculously intrusive, but the way they get served up seems to create a significant security hole on otherwise trustworthy websites. I just don't feel its worth the risk.
And why do sites have _so many_ scripts running? Just screeds of them, most of which don't seem to do anything of any use to the end-user. The web is suffering from bloat. The more powerful browsing devices get, the more unnecessary crap web developers add to use up those CPU cycles.
This live blog articles with promising descriptions and no content or even link, really amaze me. I wonder why I keep clicking on them.
Adblocker ? You don't see the articles with Adblock activated.
That said when it's not activated the articles are there but they'll be overlaid with enormous video adverts and fake Facebook screens....
Yeah, and take 4x longer to load!
While I understand the magazine has to get revenue from somewhere, I dont appreciate them eating up my bandwidth; at least there are only 9(!) adverts on this page, a certain other onine 'zine that might be on your "Radar"
has begun to block me completely: greedy bastards can keep their crappy rag if they're gonna squeeze 23 ads onto one page!
Time to ramp up the ad blocker arms race with an ad blocker that stops websites blocking the ad blocker from blocking !
Hmm? Something about a video?
Hmm? Something about Aru?
