Happy Christmas everyone! And it'll be an especially happy Christmas to Ian Roberts. He's the chap plucked out of obscurity by the random-numberness of random.org and shoved into the winner's spotlight. Well done him!
Ian wins a lovely bundle of PEdAL ED clothing worth over £500. See below for the details. Sadly, that means that 5,000 of you didn't win. But come the new year we'll be sitting pretty in our spacious* new office and feeling pretty charitable. So watch out for more competitions in 2015!
*it has more headroom, anyway
-----------------------------------------------
It's competition time again! This time we've teamed up with stylish new-kids-on-the-block PEdAL ED (curse them and their esoteric capitalisation) to offer one lucky road.cc reader the chance to win a clothing and accessory bundle worth over £500! You could be looking seriously sharp for free come the new year...
PEdAL ED is an international affair, a collaboration between Japanese designer Hideto Suzuki and some of the best Italian clothing manufacturers. "Our approach to design is to find the right balance between function and style", they say of their collection. "We believe style should outlast fashion trends and follow the careful combination of the functional elements. We do this by organizing the design of these elements, like structural seams, to be beautiful and practical."
We've got a selection of products from the current range to give away to one lucky soul. There's a waterproof Kanaya jacket (€260), a wool-blend Kaido jersey (€110) and matching armwarmers (€40), a retro-inspired Tagi merino pullover (€160), a windproof winter cycling hat (€35) and a reflective Elastica belt (€79). That's a prize fund worth a grand total of €684, or £539.56 at today's exchange rate. And you could walk away with all for free!
To enter, just pop your details in the box below. The competition will run until Friday 19 December and we'll pick a winner after that. good luck!

If the police only consider that worthy of a warning letter, then I'd have no confidence there's any deterrent to stop that happening again....

The Be Calm section - 100% ...
Now, if we're talking gravel bikes, that's a whole different story. Gimme, gimme, gimme! Apologies for the Facebook link....
The police are operationally independent, in fact the regional Police and Crime Commissioners have to swear in their oath of office that they will...
"'Right", said Fred, "we'll 'ave to get a move on…"
Thanks for the review. I like that Orbea have included aero extras and wish more manufacturers would stick two fingers up at the UCI - at least in...
Excellent - I think I'll replace my emergency tube that is a real squeeze to get into the little Topeak bottle cage bag thingy....
