After much contemplation it is time to announce the winner of the Bike Hacks Flashbak Haiku contest. Actually, I should say winners because I enjoyed the entries so much that I decided to give away some additional prizes on top of the grand prize. Thank you to everyone, all of the entries were awesome!
We have one Flashbak to give away and it is going to go to William from Jackson, Wyoming who contributed the following. The imagery is amazing and I found myself reading it over and over again.
I cycle through dreams.Leaning deep, I breathe in weightless speed.
The cement speckles are stars.
As I said, there were so many good entries and I remembered that I do still have some other stuff given to me by Microcosm Publishing to give away. Therefore I chose two additional winners. One hit home with a Bike Hack theme, and the other did a great job of incorporating the Flashbak theme. Here you have them.
