Quad Lock Schwag Grab: we have winners!
We gave you the chance to win one of the natty Quad Lock smartphone mounts last week, and now it's time to annouce the three winners in our Quad Lock competition. Okay, we said we'd do it yesterday but it was Tony's birthday and we got distracted with the cake.
So the three winners out of the hat are... backflipbedlem, Vin Cox and justDave. Congratulations! We'll be in touch to arrange your prizes. Thanks to everyone who took part.
Remember, stay tuned for more competitions on the way soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyclists are increasingly using smartphones for navigating and recording rides, and the Quad Lock is a lightweight, strong and secure mounting system compatible with a wide range of phones, including the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4.
Madison (who also look after brands like Shimano, GoPro, Park Tool) have just landed the exclusive distribution rights for Quad Lock in the UK and ROI, and to celebrate are giving three lucky road.cc readers the chance to win a Quad Lock iPhone 5, iPhone 6 or Galaxy S4.
The Quad Lock is really easy to use. You get a case to pop your phone in, the mount attaches to the stem or handlebars, and the case simply twists and locks into place. The slim case also acts as a protective case for your phone so you can leave it on when you’re off the bike. You can read Dave’s indepth review to find out more about using the Quad Lock here.
To recap, we’ve got three mounts to give away, the three lucky winners can choose from an iPhone 5, iPhone 6 or Galaxy S4. These kits are worth between £25 and £45. Just tell us in the comments box if you use a phone when you’re cycling for tracking your activity or navigating routes, and we’ll stick your hat in the draw.
You’ve got until 5.30pm on Monday 15th December. Usual schwag grab rules apply
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

It sounds like a question from Ian Walker's motornormativity paper. Is it OK to dismember a (car|bike) when it is left in an inconvenient location?

Still a trusty iPhone 4s but works for maps and Strava!
I use an iPhone 5 with MapMyRide+
This would go great with my phone and strava. I lost my cateye in a crash so something a little more secure would go down a treat!
Yeap got my galaxy s5 mounted on my handlebars rocking strava n linked to my new heart rate monitor! Mount bit too bulky though!
In?
Yes please
I have a galaxy note 3 and I use my runtastic app to log all my rides...just need a decent mount for the bike
Always use my phone otherwise is might never get home!
Yeah, I use my phone for Strava. Galaxy S4 mount would suit me.
iPhone 6 mount would be nice.
I use a Galaxy S4 - I've navigated with it using the BikeHub app, but usually it's tracking with Sports Tracker & Endomondo, tucked away in a top tube bag.
Nice to have as a backup for when the gps battery runs out, iphone 5 is the one!
iphone 6 mount please. The battery drain on gps
I use my iPhone 5s and Strava to log my rides, sometimes Mapmyride too. This mount would be ideal for me.
Fingers crossed...iPhone 5!
Xperia active and endomondo work for me.
Galaxy S4 for me please.
Iphone 5 please
I use starva but usually leave the phone In my pocket! Would be cool to have a mount. An iPhone 6 mount would be perfect!
Usually just toss the phone in my messenger bag- an iphone5 mount would be handy.
I use a Samsung note 2 and couple that with map my ride. I like the audio guide of the app but don't hear it very well in my back pocket and would be able to with it in front of me
I currently use the Bike city Finn to hold my smartphone and use Stava but I like the idea of attaching it to the stem instead of the bars.
Viewranger is without doubt the best mapping and routing app in the world and it's British and you can even put in audible points on turns so you not need to see screen which is safer and saves battery.
And because it uses 1inch and 2.5 inch OS maps you can use it off road. And it provides non UK maps, we used it off road in New Zealand with our Santa Cruz MTBs. We use it all the time with our road Boardmans.
iphone with strava in my pocket at the moment. would love an iphone 6 mount..
Strava on my iphone 4s
Wooohooo!!!
iPhone 5 please. Log all my rides on Strava
Log my rides on a GPS logger. That and phone stay in back pocket. A mount could change that!
iPhone 6, to run Strava on my commutes
Sitting pretty with a 5S on the stem
