Episode 50: Should third-party camera reporting from cyclists be outsourced? PC Mark Hodson on the road.cc podcast + inside gravel racing

Send us Fan MailThe road.cc Podcast is 50! To celebrate we're giving away some schwag, so be sure to listen to find out how to enter our special competition and potentially bag some great cycling goodies. To start this episode, George and Jack sit down for a fascinating discussion with PC Mark Hodson, one of the pioneers behind police close pass operations and a big advocate for third-party reporting from cyclists, drivers and pedestrians alike. Why are some police forces lagging behind when it comes to getting bad drivers fined and/or prosecuted, and is a radical rethink the answer? Mark has some big ideas, and we'd recommend anyone who is interested in road safety give this a good listen. In part 2, Suvi is joined by the organisers of (hopefully) Finland's next big gravel race to talk about how Europe and the UK can capture some of the magic that has led to such a big gravel riding boom in the US. Once you go gravel you never go back, apparently!
