Spin purple skewersSpin skewer schwag: we have a winner!
Like we predicted, you turned up in your thousands* for the chance of walking away with some bling Titanium skewers in the most unlikely colour to match your bike that we could find. There's only one pair though, and that means there's only one winner. And this time around the skewers are off to Scandinavia, because it's Swedish road.cc reader Teodor whose name has been plucked from the electronic hat.
Commiserations to everyone that missed out, but there'll be another schwagger along... ooh, just as soon as we've finished writing this one. Stay tuned!
*okay, 0.314 thousands
------------------------
It's Friday! Time to roll up in your thousands* and put your name down for some free schwag. The lovely Drew from Spin Cycleworks has just been in to see us and he left 44g lighter after dropping off these rather lovely Titanium skewers worth £39.99. And they could be yours! Just comment below and you're in the hat. Usual schwag grab rules apply and we'll pick a winner on Monday. Good luck!
*okay, hundreds

If you keep stopping to let cars turn in a busy town you will get frustrated yourself as you will spend more time stopped than cycling!

Did residents say the same about the M1 immediately after it was built? ATE is trying to turn around 60 years of driving centric culture.
