Raffle!

As you have likely seen and heard, my home state of Vermont has endured devastating flooding in the last week. Many homes, businesses, and roadways have been ruined or severely damaged. Countless lives have been disrupted and the needs for recovery and relief will be a long term effort.

 

Barre is among one of the worst hit spots the state. It's also the home of Vermont Bicycle Shop; their entire store and inventory was inundated. Since the waters have receded many volunteers have spent hours sorting and cleaning, but there is still so much work to do.

 

As a small token of help, Waxwing Bag Co is offering up this groovy basket bag in a raffle. All proceeds will go to the Vermont Bicycle Shop to assist in their ongoing recovery.

 

Here's the deal:

 

On offer is this mind blowingly cool, one of a kind, super functional roll-top basket bag! $10 will buy you a ticket—in a week’s time we’ll do a drawing to pick a winner. To enter, venmo (@David-Cain-64) or PayPal (eatbikenapATmadriverDOTcom) me $10, $20 or whatever multiple you choose. We’ll write down the name of everyone who makes a donation on a ticket and put them all in the bag (for $50 you’ll get 5 tickets, and so on—upping your chances).

 

On July 24th we’ll pull the winning ticket from the bag and send it off to the winner.

 

The Bag:

Basket bags are super versatile, unfussy, and so useful. This one fits to a medium sized Wald 139 basket and is held in place with side flaps that connect to the base via plastic side-release buckles. Easy access via G-hook’s to webbing loops, and… man those, those colors! The bag is canvas with black nylon trim, plastic hardware and measures about 14” wide, 9” deep and 6” tall rolled down (14” unrolled). You'll need a Wald basket mounted on your bike--they are widely available and affordable.

 

This is a win win--some lucky, generous soul will get a dynamite bag, and together we'll all help in a small but meaningful way.
