Contest Details:
Riding a bike is so much fun, but winter can be a huge bummer. Handsome Cycles needs you to help us fight the depression by showing us your bike-riding “Happy Place.” Where do you daydream about riding your bike when the snowflakes are flying and the mercury has bottomed out? Is it somewhere you have been, or someplace you have heard about? Follow @handsomecycles and post your best photos with the hashtag #HandsomeHappyPlace for weekly opportunities to win Handsome prizes. Five winners will be chosen each week through the end of January. One of the lucky 20 weekly winners will then be awarded the Grand Prize of a full CycleOps trainer and accessories package!
How To Enter:
Follow @handsomecycles on Instagram and post a photo on Instagram with the hashtag #HandsomeHappyPlace
What photos are we looking for?
When you close your eyes and imagine yourself riding your bike in your favorite place, what does it look like? We want to see images of the places you ride that make you happy. You do not need to have actually ridden there. It could be somewhere you were and wish you had your bike with you to ride.
