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.

Before I start clicking, is the Times behind a paywall?
I believe so, it's worth every penny that I give them.
It wasn't so long ago that the Times was campaigning for cyclist safety after one of its journalists(?) was knocked off her bike. It's fallen into line with the rest of the right-wing rags quickly enough. Giving Freeman column inches is hateful - total one-trick pony.
Echo the great work of Carlton, and I've signed up as a supporter.
Pity about the Times, once known as the Thunderer, but it isn't even the whimperer now, just a sad faded reflection of a once great paper. How the hell are we ever going to get justice if almost the entire msm hates cyclists? I wonder if all those papers so quick to condemn the cyclist when the pedestrian ran out in front of him have printed the actual facts yet?
Nice one Carlton!!!
