Yesterday was the final day to vote on who should receive a new E-Z Pack folding bike absolutely free through the RideTHISbike.com Folding Bike Giveaway. Gladly, the consensus was clear. With a huge margin of votes in her favor, M. Ferber of Burlington, Vermont won the folding bike.
I called Mrs. Ferber to personally give her the news and she was quite excited. She had been looking at bicycles that fold for some time now but could not make up her mind which bike to go with. I suppose the contest solved that problem. ;-)
Mrs. Ferber has offered to send us a photo of her with the bike and to let everyone know what she thinks of her new E-Z Pack folder. Since the bike will be shipping out tomorrow, perhaps we'll be able to post her photo or review within the next two weeks. Stay tuned.
Being that today is Earth Day, it is my sincere hope that this contest has helped to inspire awareness and appreciation for our planet's environment. Riding a bicycle will not solve all the world's problems; however, a bike is a viable transportation option for many trips people make by car.
With her new E-Z Pack folding bike, M. Ferber will be able to run errands by bike, riding right up to the door of the supermarket, post office, bank, etc. In less than the time it would take to lock up a standard bicycle (or park & get out of a car), Mrs. Ferber can fold her light, 22.5 lb E-Z Pack and carry it inside, placing it in the grocery basket with plenty of room to spare for groceries. No more pumping gas. No more polluting the environment. No more parking citations, moving violations, vehicular taxes or worries concerning vandals or thieves. She'll be fitter, stronger and (hopefully) happier too. All because of something as simple as a bicycle. Pretty cool, huh.
Can you use a practical bike like the E-Z Pack?
