It's all about the bike paperbackRob Penn schwag - we have winners!
There's another schwagger on the go now - to win some Liquigas kit - so we'd better fire up the number-o-tron and pick some book winners from last week's compo. Click, whirr, etc. And the seven names out of the hat are...
neil hatherall
acowan
unit29
sambu
SevenHills
haggisinlondon
Gkam84
Congrats to those guys and good luck to y'all with the next one!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
More schwag! This time it's in book form, the book in question being the excellent It's All About the Bike: The Pursuit of Happiness on Two Wheels by Rob Penn. We got that Will Fotheringham to review it for road.cc, and he reckoned it was "very much more than a book about a search for the perfect bike" - a great read.
We've got seven copies to give away. Okay it was meant to be ten, but a couple of people who came to the office asked if they could have a copy to read, and they asked really nicely and left us bikes to test and stuff. So, seven left. All you have to do to be in the hat is add a comment to this story on the site, and we'll be firing up the random number generator sometime on Wednesday. Possibly about tiffin time, although that does seem to clash with Tour stage finishes right now. So maybe a bit later.
Good luck! Usual schwag grab rules apply.
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.

Great to see so many women represented. Like most top of lists, being on it is the achievement. Although I dont see wiggins getting into the top 12.
