Aftershokz schwag grab: we have winners!
Oops. As is often the case we've left this one to run a bit over. But never mind, we've remembered now and so it's time to fire up the random-o-tron and see what it spits out. 'Scuse us while we translate this punched paper binary into some meaningful phrases.
Aha! it says Paul J, usedtobefaster, poppa, davecochrane and ShakyBakey are our winners! Well done you chaps! we'll be in touch.
Sorry if you missed out, but there's more comps on the way. Stay tuned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Tuesday folks! today it's sunny (here) and we're feeling generous, so who wants a pair of Aftershokz Bluez 2 Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones forth £89.95? We have five to give away!
The old heaphones-while-cycling chestnut is one that'll run and run, but the great thing about the Aftershokz ones is that they don't block your ears at all. Instead they use bone conduction technology to send soundwaves into your ear through your cheekbones, leaving your ears free to hear ranting white van men and revving Vauxhall Novas. Bliss.
We've tested them and our guinea pig Elliot really rated them, calling them a "Sleek and comfortable answer to the cycling-with-headphones debate". And you could get your fitlhy paws on a pair, for free. All you have to do is comment below, and you're in the hat. Come tiffin-time on Friday we'll pick five lucky winners. Usual schwag grab rules apply. Good luck!
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.

This is an article about exciting bikes for 2025...? If you want an article about exciting steel bikes in particular, I'm sure there's one from 1995.

I have mild tinitus in my right ear. Sounds like these might be an alternative solution to cranking up the volume in any situation. I might even be able to start listening to music on my bike!
Pretty please
How clever! Yes please
Yes please. Can't imagine how they work/feel
Dear - do my ears look big in these?
Looks like a great idea, would love to try.
Yes please!
Yes Please
Yes Please
Yes Please
Yes please.
That would be great.
Bone rattlers! Sounds like my bike.
Very interesting! it's a good way to ear during the journey and have all things right to their use. thanks a lot!
Would love a pair of these for the morning commute
Dem bones, dem bones dem, head bones(phones)!!
I don't need any help in falling off my bike and usually avoid head phones. I'd love some of these bad boys though.
Love my music, love my cycling, with these I just might never stop
Throw my name into the hat.
This is me if I don't win
Me too
Fingers crossed. It would solve a problem.
Would love to have them!!! Thanks
Sounds useful - my current headphones (That I don't cycle with!) are slowly dying...
Yes please, very nice
Yes please
I started cycling again in March after getting a new bike. Last chance saloon for a 54 year old teenager. You know what narks me though. I downloaded one of those amazing all singing and dancing apps and One of the really good features is the audible announcements that tell you your mileage/ave speed/cadence etc. Only problem is my ears are so far king old I cant hear the damn thing. How much more motivated would I be if I knew what the hell I had achieved mid ride. Methinks these would help an old scoundrel pedal faster!
