I won a bike! I still can't believe that I have a brand new
New Belgium Fat Tire bike sitting in my living room. Last month, my boyfriend told me I should enter their contest,
Pairs Well. You could either take a photo with a snazzy caption or just enter your e-mail address. While I love taking photos, especially of beer, I decided to just enter the e-mail contest.

| Yes, please, I would love a bike! |
I had forgotten about entering until I received two e-mails within a few minutes of each other. The first one thanked me for entering the contest and the second one was filled with congratulations on winning a bike.

| I've never felt so lucky! |
I was lucky enough to visit New Belgium last year while in Colorado for the Great American Beer Festival. While on the tour I noticed the wide variety of employee bikes and wondered how I could ever have one of my own. Our tour guide told us that after working for the company for a year, employees receive their own New Belgium bike. While I was pretty tempted to drop everything and relocate to Colorado for a pretty bike, I'm glad I won one instead.

After I replied to the initial e-mail, I had to submit paperwork within two weeks. Less than a month later, my bike was delivered to my doorstep. The bike is manufactured by
Felt Bicycles, which are known for their amazing reputation for creating fantastic bikes. After a quick run to the hardware store to purchase a couple of tools, my boyfriend graciously put together my partially assembled bike.
I love all of the details on the bike and am excited for the many adventures that I will have with it! Thanks again, New Belgium!
