10TH
ANNIVERSARY HEADBADGE CONTEST
By Lynette Chiang
What distinguishes a hand built bicycle from the mass
produced? A headbadge! And a Bike
Friday headbadge is long overdue. We'd like to invite
our customers to submit ideas - just a rough scribble
will do. Send them to us by post or e-mail a JPEG file.
We've got some great ideas already tabled. They should
capture the spirit of Bike Friday®. For example,a little
suitcase with wings is one idea we like. The design may
or may not incorporate the slogan PERFORMANCE THAT PACKS®.
For inspiration, take a look at the fantastic retro headbadge
collection of Pocket
Rocket owner and Lord of Headbadges, Jim Langley,
on his website
(scroll down).
Jim
gave us some pointers: "I thought I'd send two photos
of the type of headbadge that I think is truly special.
Both feature cyclists riding. You might be surprised how
rarely this theme is used on headbadges over the years.
I especially like it when the cyclist is riding around
the world or on/around a globe. I think that's a perfect
description of how Bike Fridays® can change you life and
turn you into a globe trotter. One is very unusual in
that the headbadge is the shape of a cyclist and it has
incredible detail. You can clearly see the brake cables,
chain links, toe clips & straps, goggles. The other badge
is more traditional. What I like on it is the cyclist
riding on top of the globe, not so much the "champion
of the world" theme. Just the fact that the he's circling
the world on his bike. If the globe looked more like the
earth, it would be even more interesting to me. I thought
you might enjoy seeing these and that they might give
you some more ideas. I can't wait to see the entries."
Submit entries by APRIL 1 2002 and watch the website www.bikefriday.com
to view the entries. We're going to ask you and Lord Jim
to help adjudicate and the winner will receive $100 worth
of Bike Friday® products, and a headbadge of course. All
bikes made in 2002 will receive a headbadge to retrofit
to their Bike Friday®, for a nominal extra charge. Post
sketches to Bike Friday®, 3364 W 11th Eugene, OR, 97402,
or e-mail to [email protected]. |
