We have a winner! Friday Schwag Grab: Cannondale Metro Jacket worth £140!

Today's Friday Scwhag Grab will keep you dry in bold orange kind of a way...

We have a winner! Guidob - who asked "Does shouting me, me, me, make me sound too needy?' Yes it does Guidob, but luckily for you random number generators don't take that sort of thing into account.

If you didn't enter here's what you missed… but don't worry they're be another chance to wins some schwag along shortly

This week courtesy of Cannondale it's more Schwag you can wear in the shape of this superb Metro Jacket as tested by us. This is the test sample so it has been worn but it still looks brand new. It's a large: too big for 5ft 8inTony and too small for 6ft 3in Dave. Our office is no place for a jacket we called “a clever feature-packed, mid-priced commuting jacket”.

 

 

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

I'd be the most in- vogue rogue doing 'Community Payback' should I ever get nabbed for furious pedalling.

What's that road safety message?  39 Be Safe, Be Seen, Be Bright - think the jacket might just hit the spot!

Hmm, that would match the new frame wot I currently have on order very nicely (Chas Roberts 953), so for another thing I've already spent the clothing budget on the bike!
