Happy Christmas everyone! And it'll be an especially happy Christmas to Ian Roberts. He's the chap plucked out of obscurity by the random-numberness of random.org and shoved into the winner's spotlight. Well done him!
Ian wins a lovely bundle of PEdAL ED clothing worth over £500. See below for the details. Sadly, that means that 5,000 of you didn't win. But come the new year we'll be sitting pretty in our spacious* new office and feeling pretty charitable. So watch out for more competitions in 2015!
*it has more headroom, anyway

It's competition time again! This time we've teamed up with stylish new-kids-on-the-block PEdAL ED (curse them and their esoteric capitalisation) to offer one lucky road.cc reader the chance to win a clothing and accessory bundle worth over £500! You could be looking seriously sharp for free come the new year...
PEdAL ED is an international affair, a collaboration between Japanese designer Hideto Suzuki and some of the best Italian clothing manufacturers. "Our approach to design is to find the right balance between function and style", they say of their collection. "We believe style should outlast fashion trends and follow the careful combination of the functional elements. We do this by organizing the design of these elements, like structural seams, to be beautiful and practical."
We've got a selection of products from the current range to give away to one lucky soul. There's a waterproof Kanaya jacket (€260), a wool-blend Kaido jersey (€110) and matching armwarmers (€40), a retro-inspired Tagi merino pullover (€160), a windproof winter cycling hat (€35) and a reflective Elastica belt (€79). That's a prize fund worth a grand total of €684, or £539.56 at today's exchange rate. And you could walk away with all for free!
To enter, just pop your details in the box below. The competition will run until Friday 19 December and we'll pick a winner after that. good luck!

I totally agree. I used to commute through Long Ashton and only started getting agro from motorists when the pavement was made to be a shared path....
