Win a FREE Bike from The Paris Review!
Want to win a FREE bicycle from The Paris Review? Well, you have to work for it a little bit.

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT:
Write a short short story about the above illustration in the style of one of five great writers.
Check it out: “in celebration of the Tour de France—and thanks to the generosity of Hudson Urban Bikes—we, along with Velojoy, are giving away one of Hudson Urban Bikes’ Beater Bicycles Roadster. This classic city bike comes in a men’s and a women’s model, both of which may be seen in the diabolical and rather enigmatic illustration above.
To win the HUB Beater, tell us what you see in this picture: in three hundred words or fewer; in the style of (choose one!) Elizabeth Bishop, Ray Bradbury, Joan Didion, Ernest Hemingway, or P. G. Wodehouse.”
