Retire Your Ride Bicycle Show and Shine

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Bicycle Show and Shine! We had 31 entrants bring down over 40 bicycles for the show – from low riders to antique European imports to fresh Saskatoon designs!

Thanks to Alexa Hainsworth of the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market for judging Best of Show. Best of Show went to Kal Dietz with his customized low rider. Thanks to Barrett Russell for the custom painted helmet that everyone who registered was entered to win. The random draw saw Lauretta Lefol take home the helmet, so keep a look out for her cycling around the city! Her husband Eric came in to speak with us about bicycle culture in Saskatoon, check it out at: Helmet Talk

Bicycle Show and Shine was the last event on the Retire Your Ride Summer Roadtrip and we gave away our $850 Rocky Mountain Metropolis that people from all over the province had been entering to win. With over 1000 entries, Susan was randomly drawn as the winner so congrats to her on her new bicycle! Retire Your Ride – Canada’s Vehicle Recycling Program will be offering alternative transportation rewards in exchange for old clunkers until March 31 2011, including another Rocky Mountain bicycle give away contest later this fall so keep in touch with us on Facebook at Retire Your Ride SK for more bicycle and alternative transportation love!
