BIKE FRIDAY TRAVEL STORY OF THE MONTH: an e-newsletter sent to customers and friends.
Send in your best stories of what you do or did on your 'Friday.
The only rule: rider and BF must appear in the accompanying photo. No 'bike against fence' shots please!
Email a 250 to 600 word story of what you do or did on your Friday, along with one or more hi-res digital images to foldableflyer@bikefriday.com, or send us a CD or print. Mark it 'Travel Story of the Month'. All photos and stories become the property of Bike Friday to share with our community and encourage others to join the fold.
The best stories will appear in the Foldable Flyer and online Travel Story of the Month bulletin, and will remain in perpetuity so you can show your friends.
WRITING GUIDELINES: try make your stories as personal and engaging as you can. A good story is less about itineraries and % gradients and more about what you felt, loved, loathed, and discovered when you crawled under that rock and ... carry readers along in your slipstream.
