Bike contest wrap up

CONTEST CLOSED.

Congratulations to Laura, a recent college grad from Minnesota, who won the free bike give away contest! She's graciously allowing me to share her story with you!

Laura played on her school's rugby team for the past four years, and relied on her school gym for off season workouts. Now a graduate, she's got to figure out new methods to working out.

"As I graduate, I know that I need to make some life decisions so that I stay healthy and I actually want to get in better shape. I am also used to working out in our campus gym which I am ineligible for now! It's scary to have to think about what I am going to do on my own."

Although I felt all the applicants were deserving of the bike reward, Laura's situation stood out most. Her current need for something new complied with her prior biking experience made me certain this prize wouldn't go to waste.


"I love biking but I am using my step-mom's old bike and it is very uncomfortable and the gears get stuck. I would love to have the new Fuji bike from Lipton. The town I live in has some really great bike trails that I have never felt comfortable checking out."

Congratulations to Laura on her new bike! Thank you to all who applied for the contest! Please keep reading as more may pop up!
