Wheels Gone Wild: Enter the Express Bike Contest
SOME PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN. Some have pets. And then some have bikes. So in honor of National Bike Month, we want to see the equivalent of your baby pictures: photos of your sweet, tricked-out ride.
Whether you saddle up on a trike, recumbent, tandem, unicycle or traditional two-wheeler — with some unconventional touches worth touting — we know the riders of this town are off the chain.
Come on, those yellow-jacket colored tires (that just happen to match your Fuji Roubaix's frame) deserve more of an audience than whoever happens to be sauntering by on the sidewalk. Perhaps your Trek's wheels are packed to the rims with a wild collection of spoke cards. Or maybe your claim to cycle fame is using your frame as a canvas for outrageous art. Whatever the means, you know your pedals are unparalleled.
E-mail a high-resolution snapshot (at least 300dpi) of your pride and joy — and means of transportation — to bike"at"readexpress.com by Tuesday, May 19, at midnight. We'll feature our favorite rides in an upcoming issue. Include your name, age, city of residence and why your bike makes you one of the coolest spokespeople in the D.C. area.
