The Redbeard Blog / special event

Today we’re launching our #beyondthecommute challenge. We want to see the best moments from your rides around town. Whether you’re casually riding with friends around Brooklyn, or trying to beat your lap time in Prospect Park, we want to see! Each week we’ll choose a winning photo that best captures the spirit of #beyondthecommute.

Prize:

One cyclist each week will win a free bike tune-up (value: $75)* at Redbeard Bikes at 69 Jay Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn.

*Tune-up does not include cost of parts.

Duration:

Today (August 18th) - September 8th

How to participate:

Follow RedBeard Bikes on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and share your best photo from your bike ride with the hashtag #beyondthecommute.
