The winner of the dhb competition has now been chosen:
Curtis Richmond
You'll be contacted shortly by dhb to choose your kit. Congratulations Curtis!
Our lovely friends at dhb have come up with a prize of kit worth £512 that should suit virtually every cyclist this winter. The kit comes from their updated Flashlight range, which you can read more about here. The kit is designed primarily for year round commuters and hardy winter trainers. There's both male and female kits, with the women's range mainly in pink or yellow and the men's mainly in blue, red or yellow. The lucky winner gets a choice of male or female kit.
There are ten items to be won, so let's take a look at them...
The dhb Flashlight Spectrum Jacket (RRP £110), comes in blue or yellow and has 15000mm waterproof rating and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m2. It has a three-layer fabric so provides more protection than the Flashlight waterproof jacket.
The dhb Flashlight Waterproof Jacket (RRP £80) is a lightweight waterproof, with a water-repellent coating
The dhb Flashlight Long Sleeve Jersey (RRP £50) uses Dri-release ® technology, which dhb tells us uses a "combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres that dramatically improves how moisture is pulled from the skin and released into the air."
The dhb Flashlight Short Sleeve Jersey (RRP £40), also uses Dri-release ® technology.
dhb Flashlight Thermal Bib Tights (RRP £65) are made with the high-stretch, fleece-backed Lombardia knit from Italian fabric masters MITI Spa. They also have a Veloce chamois, which dhb tells us protects for up to three hours in the saddle.
dhb Flashlight Bib Shorts (RRP £50)
The dhb Flashlight Socks x2 RRP £10pp (£20 total), feature a high-visibility design, with reflective details on the cuff, a multi-panel construction and air mesh to enhance breathability and prevent overheating.
dhb's Flashlight Windproof Cycling Gloves (RRP £30) have a padded palm and fleece-lined windproof fabric on the back of the hand and fingers.
dhb Flashlight Overshoes (RRP £27) are bright and durable, with wind and water-resistant elements and additional reflective trims.
dhb's Slice 30L Rucksack (RRP £40) can also accommodate a hydration bladder, with tube routing from inside to outside for easy access. If you are commuting, this internal sleeve can double as storage for a 15” laptop.
That's a pretty good set of winter kit by anyone's standards, and you get a 30 litre rucksack thrown in for good measure! All you have to do is put your details in the form below, and we'll draw a winner in two weeks time... best of luck to all!
I think this calls for some tactical urbanism. Install some planters overnight, ideally using cargo bikes. Keep doing it until they stop removing...

TBFit's rather more than a high street - it looks urban arterial to me.
I've done a couple of Duathlons, which were on public (open) roads, I didn't feel that either was dangerous. However, for those events there were...

Any suggestion that the birds were placed there by one rider to handicap his rivals is just a vile canard.
Crying lefties. There's that famed morality and compassion from the non lefties at work again.
That's not quite true, the driver once charged is free to go once they give a clear breath test (after a day or night in the cells). They're free...

Funny this rule never seems to apply to gravel bikes...
