THe above from the Bicycling website. So either contact the MD of Touchline Media, or maybe go to Rodale International. Another option is to contact the sponsors of the sunglasses - I'm guessing it might be asg. Or - seeing as all competitions are (technically) supposed to be audited - to Touchline's auditors raising it as a matter of concern regarding their corporate governance.

I just hope I do not have such trouble next week when I win the Pivot from Tread.

 

It'll be a hoot if I win it. I renewed my subscription last year and received one, maybe 2 mags and no more. Queried it twice. Still no mags, so unless I win it's goodbye to that mag . (It may be a postal issue and not the mags fault, but the end result is the same).

I won a Thule backpack in their December newsletter comp, after a mic-up where and when the prize would be collected they couriered it to me and man that's an awesome backpack, So yes some comps are real

The mag in question sponsored a Tour de France competition in 2009, in which myself and a colleague won prizes. After a few months of nagging them and a number of emails we received our prizes. Had I not nagged them...?

I got a pair of shimano mtb shoes from one of our local mags for sending in the prizewinning tip. i won't mention the names, but if it was in afrikaans it would be called 'fietsry'.

 

shoes came promptly, this was after I went to cyclelab to check the size. funny thing was that mighty mouse was selling them for a bit more than the mag said they were worth. they fitted great, i told the sales guy, "they're a bit pricey, so i'll think about it"

Who is Mighty mouse?

So we have to nag and nag until they give in?

Has anyone else written a letter to the editor of a magazine and is still waiting to recieve the prize months later.

 

Hi there,

 

If you're talking about the Bicycling magazine prize-winning letters, where you can win a pair of Rudy Project photochromic lensed glasses, then vasbyt. I wrote a winning letter about 15 months ago, and the letter was published before I received the glasses. They arrived about 2-3 weeks after I saw the letter in the magazine.

 

Regards
