- Comment: This needs some further work on it, in respect of WP:SIRS, so independent sourcing in detail of the publication. Sourcing for the details is OK, but we need more coverage specifically for organisational notability. ChrysGalley (talk) 20:22, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

road.cc is a British cycling website based in Bath, Somerset. It was launched in March 2008 by former Future Publishing editors Tony Farrelly and Dave Atkinson as a digital-native alternative to traditional print magazines.[1] The site reports on bicycle technology, professional cycling and road safety, and has been described as "estimable" by The Guardian's Peter Walker.[2]
Media impact
[edit]The publication is frequently cited by UK national media when reporting on cycling safety and traffic law. In 2010, after the Daily Mail published an exposé on Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow allegedly breaking traffic rules, road.cc provided the platform for Snow's technical rebuttal of the claims, which was subsequently analysed by The Guardian.[3]
Similarly, in 2021, the Evening Standard cited road.cc for its interview with a witness to an angle-grinder bike theft at Surrey Quays, using the site's reporting to provide context for a Metropolitan Police investigation.[4]
In 2024, road.cc published a technical analysis of a Telegraph front-page story regarding cyclist speeds. The analysis demonstrated the newspaper had relied on erroneous GPS data from Strava. The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) subsequently upheld a ruling against The Daily Telegraph for inaccuracy regarding the article.[5]
