Win a Bobbin bike

Vintage velo up for grabs

Posted: 15 October 2008, 01:10

As Britain's stellar year in sprint cycling shows, getting on your bike is very much back in fashion these days. A combination of rising petrol prices and guilt over carbon emissions has got bums on saddles in a way unseen for decades, and in a bid to get more people going green, ShortList.com is giving away a brand new bike, from retro stylee bike makers Bobbin Bicycles.

Founded in 2007 by Sian Emmison and Tom Morris, Bobbin have been churning out classy cycles with a vintage Dutch look about them in a dark basement in Clerkenwell, east London for 18 months, and they've just opened up a second shop in Islington. They're a brilliant way to kill several birds with one stone: get where you want to go, fast, look tremendously cool to those who matter, and avoid the risk of having it stolen by tasteless thieves just out for the latest mountain bikes, innit.

We're giving away one of Bobbin's Regal model bikes to one lucky reader - to make that person you, just answer the simple question below. On yer bike.
