Congrats to the lucky winners and commiserations to y'all who missed out. Next week: some natty pedals!
[here's the original story]
The Schwag Grab has been away for a bit but now it's back! And this week we've got five sets of Blackburn Flea front and rear lights to offload on you lucky chancers courtesy of our pals at Madison.
If you haven't seen the Flea lights before, well they're mad clever: the lights are rechargeable and the come with a little charging unit that attaches magnetically to any standard AA battery: they work with rechargeables too.
Once they've had their fill they'll run for between 3 and 12 hours, depending on mode, before you need to top them up. And they only weigh 17g each, so even the most stringent of racing snakes should be okay with them.
The rules are as usual: just comment on this story to be in the hat. No multiple posts please. We'll draw the winner on Friday at about tiffin-time. Mmmm, tiffin.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

Oh, me too, me too.

Welcome back Schwag !
Just one more for the (night-time) road, hic!

Flea to me for a light commute
They really look the part!
Woo, some new lights would be nice, it's nearly winter in Scotland!
Me please. I've got swine flu. Need cheering up.
A neat idea and no bother to carry - on or off the bike.
What a lovely pair...
Not even August.
Nights drawing in.
New lights?
Yes please.
I hope they would cure my leprosy.
I hope to be able to find out.
I would be beaming with delight and itching to get riding with a set of fleas, count me in !!
Light, bright keep me riding all night...come on.
After 15 years off the bike I am back and really want a set so I can train through the winter. Please
Nice bit of kit.
may the gods of chance shine their shiny nice lights on my humble form this very afternoon come tiffin time.
*stands from kneeling*
As dedicated weight weenie fleas would help in my quest to be as light as bee or should that be flea?
as they said in Gremlins
"arrr Brightlight Brightlight"
I want some to shine in drivers rear view mirrors
my 650 lumen wolf eyes flashlight will continue to illuminate the road ....
It's a rather dull Friday in my redundancy hit office and I'm paying little attention to whats going on around me when i feel a hand on my shoulder, its my boss, she says 'erm, whats this?' In my half asleep panic stricken state and hoping she takes pity on me, i reply 'I'm on a bike website leaving a post in a vain attempt to win some lights'. At least if this post goes against me in the '5 reasons why i should keep my job' sweepstakes I'll have some lovely lights to show for it.......
oh yes, yes, yes - light my way!
these are fleas I'd like to have
look nice on my bike B)
me please!
Consider this story to be commented upon by my good self, with the greatest passion.
my fleas are afraid of the dark, so these would be ace. surely it's tiffin time now?
Nice idea. Do they work?
THANK YOU!
