Win colourful handlebar tape and socks from Cycology

If you feel as though the past week has been painted in one shade – grey – you’re not alone.

Much of the UK has sat under low cloud, with drizzle and damp air settling in as the season tips into late autumn. It’s the kind of weather that makes summer rides feel like a distant memory.

So we thought we’d bring a little colour back. This week we’re giving away a roll of handlebar tape and a pair of matching cycling socks by Cycology – a small antidote to the gloom.

Cycology’s kit is well-loved for its bold patterns and playful graphics, and the Aloha design does what the name suggests: a burst of tropical colour on handlebars and feet, even if the view beyond the bars is mist and puddles.

Win a dash of colour for you and your bike

To be in with a chance of winning the handlebar tape and socks, simply leave us a comment below and we will make the draw next week.

And if the weather has left you less inclined to ride, don’t forget: our cycle insurance includes Cycle Rescue, the UK’s first breakdown cover for bicycles, so if your bike does let you down you’ll never be stranded at the roadside – rain or shine.

Cycle Rescue is included with ETA bicycle insurance

If you suffer a breakdown (including punctures, or even a flat e-bike battery) while out cycling, our 24-hour Cycle Rescue team can arrange transport for you and your bicycle to a safe location. Buy as a standalone service, or get it included with ETA cycle insurance. Every policy comes with:

• Theft, accidental damage & vandalism
• E-bike battery theft cover
• Cycle Rescue
• No devaluation of your bike over time
• £2m third party PLUS £20,000 personal accident cover
• Shed and garage storage
• Low standard excess of 5% (£50 minimum)
