We have winners! Mini Schwag Grab! 3 copies of Cyclopedia

Three chances to win a jolly good cycling read for Christmas

Right, afternoon snacks have been taken - Tunnock's Snowballs were the snack du jour – the chestnuts were taking absolutely ages on the laptop… but I digress. The random number generator has done its stuff and the fickle finger has pointed and we have three winners.

Cyclopedias will be flying their way just as soon as we've got addresses to send them to. We'll whack them in the post pront and hey might even make it to you for Christmas. Maybe

Commiserations to those that lost out, but there will be a next time.

And if your appetite for knowledge has been whetted by this competiton and our recent review which described the Cyclopedia as an informative and entertaining all you can eat buffet of cycling knowledge and trivia, why not nip along to your local bookstore and grab one for yourself anyway.

There's a ton of cycling related stuff crammed into its 440 or so pages as well as obvious stuff like the Tour de France and gears, there are entries on catholicism, sex, and Great Britain. Various legends of the sport such as Merckx and Major Taylor make an appearance as do, subject as diverse as Flancers, Sustrans, the Three Peaks and Defensive cycling.

 

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
