A picture perfect ride

Posted on Mar 1, 2012

Capturing the joy of bicycling on camera can be almost as fun as riding a bike! Today our friends at the Alliance for Biking and Walking announced the winners of their "People Powered Movement Photo Contest." More than 1,700 photos were submitted by people all over North America. All of the photos will go into an online library where bike advocates everywhere can view and download them to show the power and possibility of a self-propelled lifestyle.

Here at PFB, we know that seeing others enjoy riding a bike is a big part of encouraging even more people to join in, so we're glad to see so many captivating bicycling images become available to promote bicycling.

Rachel Schell, a photographer from Spokane, WA, won the overall grand prize for her photograph "Flying" and will receive an all-expenses-paid, 10-day bike trip to Tuscany, Italy! Liv Ames from San Jose, CA, won second place overall for her photo "Vancouver Foot Traffic," and Russell Roca of Corvallis, OR, took third place overall for his "Biking Family" image. Momentum magazine is featuring an array of the winning photographs from each category in its March/April 2012 issue.

Do you have any great bicycling photos of yourself, friends or family? Share them with a story in our Story Gallery and on our facebook page!
