Closing date – midnight Sunday 4 September
Email your entry to competition@spokes.org.uk
If you love nipping down to the corner shop by bike for milk or a paper, or if you’ve transported your new bed by cargo bike, or if you use your trailer as a supermarket shopping trolley – as long as it’s Shopping by Bike – send us your experiences, ideas or handy hints – and you could win a great prize plus some modest fame.
Whether you’ve a great idea that would help other people, a challenge you’ve overcome, an experience you’d rather forget, or something you’d not recommend – if it’s about Shopping by Bike, we want to hear from you!! It needn’t be about equipment, though it could be. It might be an amusing incident, or how shopping by bike changed your life, or just a handy hint. It might even be about a shop or a service that comes to you by bike.
Factors in judging may include how useful your idea is, or how interesting or unusual your experience. Words alone are fine, even just one superb sentence, but a picture, diagram etc often adds value to an entry.
