CYCLING is about more than middle-aged men in Lycra.

For those who either shy away from the look and feel of snug-fitting material or who like to express their love of the sport in a more casual way, then Cycology have the answer.

The Northern Echo’s On Two Wheels section has teamed up with the Aussie company to offer one reader a cyclist’s secret Christmas wishlist.

With a growing reputation for clothing that is both practical and desirable, Cycology was established in 2011.

The winner of our competition will receive a grey knitted hoodie, a long sleeve top, a towel, a pair of boxer shorts and a knitted beanie worth more than £130. They will be able to choose their size and style.

All you have to do to stand a chance of winning the goodies is answer the following question: When was Cycology Clothing established?

Send your entries to Cycology Competition, c/o Matt Westcott, Newsdesk, The Northern Echo, Priestgate, Darlington, DL11NF. Include your name, address and contact telephone number.

You can also enter by emailing the answer and details to matt.westcott@nne.co.uk. Please mark emails Cycology Competition. Usual Newsquest rules apply. The competition closes on December 3.
