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.

It's rare to see a photo as good at the Van Aert/Butchers one. Well done.

Loved mine (until I dropped them in a puddle) so a new set would be most welcome...
Either they don't work or they interfere with one's hearing. This desperate give away gimmick to filter out skeptical comments is a hit and run on cyclists everywhere.
Great! Now that's a perfect way to cycle to music and still be alert. I want one.
Tried a pair a friend had, felt weird to start off. But really worked well. Hope I win.
yes please.
Really intrigued to see how these work, fingers crossed
Yes please!
Yes please!
I think this is how snakes hear.
fingers crossed!
Randomly pick me, please!
Thanks!
Count me in!
Yes please!
Whooosh
A fantastic idea. Only last Thursday I was delivering photographic slides to a client on my bike with my phone's GPS directing me - but in my pocket, so each time a car went past I missed my damn turning because I couldn't hear it and - for safety reasons - I refuse to use standard earphones!
Very Star Trek! Nice idea - I'm in
That'd be ace.
Being a 'responsible' type I never ride with headphones on the road but with these I suppose I could, I'd still feel a bit naughty though.
My ears would say cheers!
filthy paws need bone conducting tunes!
Yes please
Yes please!
ooooo meeeeeee i will look like someone from 1D if i wear it
Much better than earphones full of wax
Count me in please
OOH EEE OO AA AA,
TING TANG,

Ooh yes please.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'll risk it for a biscuit
