* Entries now closed, we'll pick winners shortly! *
It's Christmas, and back for 2023 is our festive edition of Five Cool Things. Instead of us telling you/bragging about what we've got in for review, this time it's your chance to tell us what quality cycling-related gifts you got for Christmas. Comment below to show us, email us at info [at] road.cc or comment under the social media posts before midnight on Boxing Day, and our top five will win a prize.
Funny gifts will be counted, but we draw the line at this
The judging criteria is loose and at our discretion as usual, and when we say quality, amusing gifts count too (just perhaps steer clear of submitting anything that appeared on our what not to get cyclists for Christmas list).
Winning entries from previous years include tasteful cycling art prints, vintage-style frame pumps and everyone's favourite Christmas present, road.cc socks. Try to tell us a bit of backstory behind your gift if there is one to increase your chances of being among the winners.
As mentioned already, you can send us your submissions in a number of ways: in the comments section underneath this article, via our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages or by emailing info [at] road.cc. We’ll be judging over Christmas and Boxing Day (deadline for entries is 11:59pm on December 26th), and the article will appear on the 27th. If you’re a winner you will receive a message of congratulations and a request for a delivery address, and we’ll post the prizes in January when our NYE hangovers have settled. That prize may be road.cc socks, but with stock running low it may be another useful thing (it'll be useful, promise).
Best of luck folks!

Excellent! It's encouraging to see people win prizes!!
My crazy feet did well in my 5 year old Lake CX241's but should be even better in the new model, CX 242. Thanks Santa Spouse!

My gift from Santa Claus - 256 pages pictures album "Bicycling through time". From first hobby-horse bikes to 1945. Some bikes seems very interesting. Bike for two, but only the same weight. Or something like ... Ceramic Speed gears. And all bicycles are for gravel, thinking about roads 100 years ago

Just one cycling related gift for me this year - some hex keys. As recommended by a one-time prolific poster of this parish. Kinda feels like cheating on Park Tool, but hopefully the other hex keys won't find out.
My wife got this Gettin' Squirrelly calendar from her Mum.
I'm jealous of that now.
I got given an Evil Cycling Lobby Lifetime Member Hoody with the print on the back: https://evilcyclelobby.teemill.com/product/ecl-mens-fit-hoodie-with-lifetime-member-print-on-rear/

oh bloody hell, another spray can of Muc Off Bike.protect
The better half got me this. She loves me very much. At least the forth item over several years...
And some deep winter POC gloves awhile back.
I didn't get any cycling gifts this year
Trust me, non-cycling Santa is pretty useless.
