A Seattle-based outdoors magazine is offering a new Norco bicycle as first prize to the person who tells the best bicycle commuting story — in 300 words or less.
The publishers of Outdoors NW are looking for real-life bicycle commuting experiences from the Northwest:
“Stories may include your experiences about your first bike commute, why you decided to start commuting, your best – or worst – commuting day, your rainiest commute, how it helped you get in shape, how it changed your life, etc. Stories may be funny, sad, contemplative … anything goes…”
In addition to publishing the story in the July/August edition, the magazine will award a Norco VFR Brake 3 commuting bike to the first prize winner of the essay contest.
Norco is a Canada-based bicycle maker that's been building bikes since 1964. The company sells a full-line of bicycles, include mountain and road bikes. The Norco VFR Brake 3 is an aluminum frame, 21-speed urban commuter-style bike.
Second and third place winners will receive Columbia apparel tech shirts.
Here's the link to the Norco Bicycle Story Commuting Contest rules and information. Deadline is midnight, May 29, 2009. Send entries via email to Editor at OutdoorsNW.
