During National Bike Month in May, thousands of people hopped on a bicycle for the first time to see what life is like behind the handlebars.
Maybe that was you, timid at first, yet growing more confident by the day, learning to see your city in a new way, forever changed by the experience.
Whether you just started riding or have restarted after years away from a bicycle, we want to hear your adventure.
Tell us, in 420 words or less how starting to ride a bike has improved your life (or not!) Stories can be about the obstacles you overcame, cautionary tales or advice to would-be cyclists. Points will be given to those who include photos of their two-wheeled wonder!
The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to Gregg’s Cycles to stock up on gear to make the ride even merrier. The winning story will also be posted on the Choose Your Way Bellevue blog and featured in our 2012 Bike to Work Month newsletter.
Stories must be emailed to hayley@bellevuedowntown.org. Contest runs for the entire month of August 2011. To be eligible you must live or work in downtown Bellevue.
And remember to like Choose Your Way Bellevue on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to learn about other contests and promotions throughout the year.
