Thanks!

[mimitabby]

Thanks!

Nope. :D But if it takes me longer to read than does the Sunday edition of the New York Times, your chances will diminish. :)

Responding to a question received via email....

No, we're not limiting it to one entry per person. After all, there are many many definitions of bike love. :)

I've already received some entries, and am looking forward to many more!

[Bad JuJu]

Oh, you guys rock, Susan. I can't wait for some free time so I can get started!

[Susan Otcenas]

… they never understood my love for my ‘machine’- my intimate knowledge that two wheels and a frame would take you wherever your heart desired, if fueled by your will....

I remember wanting a new bike more than anything for Christmas that year.... That was the year that my dad was in Vietnam with the Air Force and the whole year was hard on everyone...

...As I was removing the tube for replacement, another rider came along and annoyingly assisted in helping—what male can resist a “damsel in distress”? ...

...The Dr told him he had the beginnings of MS. It was such a blow to all of us....

...If I had to pick Mr. Right he would have been 6', blonde hair, blue eyes, and just enough muscle to make him look good. Needless to say, we can dream up our perfect man and there is a slim chance of getting him....


...Walking into the 6 am class was much like walking into the Cheers bar – everyone knew your name, everyone was glad you came and everyone was used to each other’s habits...


Don't YOU want to tell us your story of Bike Love too???

[Brandi]

Susan will we be able to read your favorites? Or all the entry's?

[Susan Otcenas]

The winners and runners up will be posted on the TE website. There will also be snippets in our TE newsletters, bringing you to the site where you can read the full text of that story.

Nice! Now you said "winners" will there be more then one?

[Susan Otcenas]

Depends on the submissions. One if there's a clear winner, or more than one if more than one person knocks our socks off. :D

[7rider]

Love *of* the bike (i.e., the mechanical thing)? Or love *on* the bike (i.e., the buff dude at the front of the paceline)??

[Susan Otcenas]

Any of the above. Or none. Define for yourself.

[KnottedYet]

I'm partial to the not-so-buff babe at the end of the paceline, myself!:D

[DebW]

Love *of* the bike (i.e., the mechanical thing)?

I wrote a story of my 33 year love affair with my Campy hubs, but I'm afraid to submit it. I'd probably be committed to the looney farm if anyone read it.

[Susan Otcenas]

Pretty please? :)

[Bad JuJu]

Well, Deb, now you HAVE to submit it. You could win!

[KnottedYet]

C'mon, Deb! Do it for *us*!!!!:D

Pleeeeeeeease?:o

(c'mon, how could you say no?):D :D

[Trek420]

[DebW]

Well, you would have to be committed if you wrote of your 10 year affair with grease, but we can all understand hubs ;). Yeah, submit it!

I'm not telling how many years I've been in love with grease. Remember, hubs have grease IN them.
