So let's be honest, the last link contest we held was just a blast. So we did some pinky-twisting and Jared Madsen (our founder) consented to an idea of pure madness. We're going to run the contest again, only this time - we're going to give away a bike every week.
You read that right - we're going to give away a MADSEN bike every week. The contest rules are basically the same. You link to us from you site, Twitter account or blog - and someone clicks the link (could even be you!) and you'll be entered to win.
We'll announce a new winner each Wednesday here on the blog. To be eligible to win, you just need to link to us from your site, and have at least one person follow the link from your site to ours during the week preceding the announcement.
You can also earn an entry by following us on Twitter and/or joining our email list.
We also created a whole new juicy set of banners you can use to link, if you'd like (or you can just use a text link if you prefer, no biggie).
For all the links, banners and details, head over to our contest page.
See you back here in one week where one lucky winner's getting a new bike!
When does this giveaway end?

oh. my. goodness. I am dying to win a madsen! I tried hard last time, but this time you won't even know what hit ya. But seriously, what could be better than telling all my family and friends about your sweet bikes, I suspect one day they'll be as popular as cars, okay maybe not, but we can try, right?

Ohhh!! I'm *so* excited! Bring on the links... I'd love to win!

Posted by: James | August 26, 2009 at 03:49 PM
Following on Twitter gains you 1 entry, yes. So does tweeting about us (see the contest page for help with that), so does linking from your site/blog. So does joining our email list. Lots of ways to get your name in the hat.

I know that you are busy tallying up entries for the contest, but I was wondering if it would be possible to get this image in a width of 200 instead of 300. It is my favorite but its too wide for my template. If not, no big deal...love the bikes!
Posted by: Amy | September 03, 2009 at 10:24 PM
