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.

DOT4 is pretty aggresive stuff (nothing melted), mineral oil is probably OK on EPS hemets. I'm surprised this is allowed on planes.

I used to use headphones whilst riding, then I was missing out on the chorus of nature. Now I could have both, what a bonus.
Would like to give a try I wonder how well they keep the cold out of the ears during the winter rides.
Fingers crossed!
I think these would also work for live musicans as a monitoring system!!
Please, those would look great on me!
Would love to have a some. Cant beat a wee tune while out for a ride.
Great prize
Gimme headphones, please!
I want to look like that bloke with Aftershokz'
Please enter me in the competition!

Hey please count me in - thank you
Yes, please! Always avoided riding with ear buds but these sound great!
Count me in please.
Love to win these
If I wore them backwards, would I look like Jordi?
Yes please!!!!
Yes please!!!!!!
Yes please!
Clever stuff - count me in
Send them Ear! No Bone's about it.
Used something similar before and loved them...wouldn't mind having a set of my own!
I'm an old rocker so my ears are shot. These will do nicely!
Ooh yes! Listening to Heart of the Sunrise while riding through the heart of the sunrise. Belter!
They'll do nicely
Tinnitus for my temples too? Count me in!
Please!
I've had a pretty rotten couple of days..(and expensive,) these might just change my luck?
Please

I hope to be able to find out how they work for the hard of hearing like me. Watch this space....
