Enter to Win a City Bicycle!
It’s Tour de France time! In honor of the 99th edition of this epic race, we’ve teamed up with fellow cyclists at the venerable Paris Review and Hudson Urban Bicycles in the West Village for a city bike GIVEAWAY. Read the post below by TPR editor Lorin Stein from the Paris Review blog, then sharpen your pencil for your chance to win:
My predecessor George Plimpton was known for cycling around New York on his Trek Y-foil before it was either cool or safe (before, some would say, it was sane). And nowadays, we at TPR are still devoted city bikers; our rides can be found chained up and down White Street. So in celebration of the Tour de France—and thanks to the generosity of Hudson Urban Bikes—we, along with Velojoy, are giving away one of Hudson Urban Bikes’ Beater Bikes Roadsters. This classic city bike comes in a men’s and a women’s model, both of which may be seen in the diabolical and rather enigmatic illustration below.
To win the HUB Beater, tell us what you see in this picture:
- in three hundred words or fewer
- in the style of (choose one!) Elizabeth Bishop, Ray Bradbury, Joan Didion, Ernest Hemingway, or P. G. Wodehouse
Read The Paris Review interviews for inspiration—and be sure to send in your entries by July 22. Submit to contests@theparisreview.org. The winner will be chosen by the editors of the Review.
