Live blog: Leave Vs Remain poll – Near Miss of The Day; Cycle path apple tree vandals offered olive branch; woefully-timed overtake by driving instructor; 'how to take on a club 10’, ‘Tour of Pembrokshire tractor incident case dismissed, Canyon e-racing+

So lovely to be at @_OnBikes @POPScotland Pop Up to allow school children to cycle safely in Glasgow’s East End if only for today. We desperately need some safe cycling infra in this part of the city to make this a permanent reality. #popuppop #pop2019 pic.twitter.com/QCL2No6BNa

If you really want to annoy Bristolians then cutting off their cider supply is a good place to start... and sadly it appears that vandals saw it fit to tear down some apple trees on the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path at the weekend. This disgruntled yet incredibly polite note was photographed by passer-by Claire Snook, and has been called 'the most Bristol note ever' by the Bristol Post; although we think it's definitely lacking a few gerts and ooh-arrrs to qualify as that... 

Josh Quigley has mourned his old bike and got himself a new one.

Full story here.

Endless faffing, taking too many pins and making excuses are almost as traditional as the good old British club 10 itself... 4th Cat Problems have nailed it here!

Canyon is aiming at the rapidly growing eracing universe with the launch of possibly the world’s first professional e-racing team: Canyon Zcc.

It won’t have escaped your attention that eracing is becoming popular at the moment, largely due to the popularity of Zwift and culminating with the first British national e-racing championships recently.

Canyon’s new Zcc team supports two squads, men and women, with 10 riders in total. They have been competing regularly in the Zwift KISS Community League, one tier below the Super League that has attracted regular professional cyclists to take part.

The team has tasted success already, three riders were able to claim Zwift National Championship titles, and James Phillips claimed second place in the televised live final for the British title.

Impressive results, and striking kit too. Canyon has shown an appetite for daring kit design - the Canyon//SRAM women’s team kit still ranks as one of the best ever - and the Zcc kit is no exception. The bold kit, inspired by the early 90s rave music scene - will be worn by the riders both in real life and virtually.

“It’s about being different to the mainstream and embracing the freedom that comes with that. eRacing is still in its infancy, but we have always seen its potential and are excited to be pioneering the future of the sport”, says Team Manager Rhys Howell.

Here are the riders to watch out for:

Women's squad

• Kristin Falck (NOR)*
• Eva Buchholz (GER)*
• Siri Hildonen (NOR)
• Nathalie Eklund (SWE)
• Laura van Regenmortel (NED)

Men's squad

• Alex West (NZL)
• Steve Young (GBR)
• James Phillips (WAL)
• Lionel Vujasin (BEL)*
• Philipp Diegner (GER)

*Denotes Zwift National Champion.

If you’re wondering what bikes and equipment the team will use, they’re on the Aeroad CF SL in both real and virtual worlds, and using a complete Wahoo setup comprising a Kickr, Headwind, Climb and Tickr, with Nuun nutrition.

Is there a big future for professional e-racing teams? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Does this “professional” driving instructor think that this is an appropriate place to overtake a cyclist? Fucking bellend. pic.twitter.com/FwKgjXGov4
