As every year-round rider knows, there’s no such thing as a ‘cycling season’ – it’s just that sub-optimal weather conditions demand a little stoicism…and perhaps a pair of jaunty socks.
Various technical features mean these socks by Defeet perform as well on sweaty feet as those wet from a rainy commute, but it’s the colourful design that really sparks joy.
Win a pair of jaunty cycling socks
If the change of season doesn’t justify a new pair of cycling socks, what on earth does? We have a pair of medium-sized Defeet Aireator socks to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave us a message below and we’ll pick a name next week.
