Urban utility bicycles

Winner of the first weekly bike giveaway is...

Jennifer Chick-Gray! Our warm congratulations to her. She's a mother of two little ones living in Colorado and should find the bike a wonderful addition to her family.

For everyone else, thank you for your patience as we drew, verified then contacted the winner. If you didn't win, don't be too discouraged, we're doing another drawing a few days! (This time we'll have a more efficient, but still thorough, approach or I'll be going to an early grave!)

Remember, to win all you need to do is help us spread the word about MADSEN Cycles by linking to us from your blog/site/twitter/etc. More details here.

I realize this is ridiculous...

...the wait I mean. And I apologize, we're polishing this process so that it goes quicker in the weeks to come! Please bear with us. :)

Hang in there!

You guys are great. The winner hasn't been contacted yet (as of 4:40 Pacific time). We have a rather time-consuming and painstaking process to draw the full group of potential winners together to make sure no one is left out when we do the drawing. Thank you for your patience!

New contest starts today!

We're busy tallying, drawing, and verifying the winner from last week's contest (which usually takes longer than we'd like, so please be patient!), but the new weekly contest starts today. We'll be giving away another bike next Wednesday. To qualify, all you need to do is link to us per the contest rules. Thanks everyone for participating, we've had a wonderful response so far and this is a blast. We'll announce the winner here on the blog as soon as we can.

MADSEN launches a WEEKLY bike giveaway

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!

Final goodie bag giveaway winner, and a teaser about something BIG coming up.

63 comments, and the winner turns out to be our 63rd commenter. Congratulations Michael! I've sent you an email.

Stay tuned, we're working on a pretty exciting plan for those of you who are helping us spread the news about MADSEN.

It's a crazy idea, and we think you're going to like it. 

Remember to follow us on Twitter to stay abreast of the very latest. (And here on the blog of course, too).

Results of our drawing for a MADSEN Goodie Bag (and you can still win)

 

Hi everyone - we held our promised drawing today for a bag of MADSEN goodies. A t-shirt, some Flat Attack, and a few other goodies. We drew four names, one of our Twitter followers, one from our email list, and two from sites who linked to us. I've sent emails (or tweets) to all the winners so check your email to see if it was you!

We'll be giving away one more goodie bag to someone who comments on this post, so if you'd like a shot at winning, comment and let us know which MADSEN color is your favorite, cream, blue or black. We'll draw one winner at random on Monday August 24th and give the final goodie bag to them.

For our next contest we're brewing something very, very exciting, and we think you'll be excited too. Stay tuned next week for the announcement!

Do you own a MADSEN?

If you own a MADSEN, we'd love to see you and your bike in action. Share your photos and videos and if we feature them here on the blog, we'll send you a MADSEN Cycles gift package with some MADSEN and bike-related goodies. Send your submissions to share@madsencycles.com

This is a great short video of a MADSEN hard at work. Mike lives in SLC and is testing a lid prototype. You can see he is testing a lot more than the lid. This short clip shows how stable and durable a MADSEN is.
