We need a tandem!

Bicycle Magazine Video Contest from Susanita on Vimeo



Bicycling Magazine had a contest which ends in May to win "Any New Bike" reviewed in their magazine. The deadline for submissions is over but all you had to do was create a 60 second video showing why you, above all others, need a new bike. We attached the GoPro Hero cam to the side of my bike and did a stop motion video taking a photo every few seconds. Then we created the sound track in Garage Band. Here is our submission.

I thought it was pretty good but apparently the editors of Bicycling Magazine didn't think so ... we didn't make the top 10 which are up for votes now. The one characteristic I see in the semi-finalist videos which was missing from our video was a clear argument for why we needed the tandem. We were appealing more on the cute factor than the logical factor. Here are the 10 semi-finalists. You be the judge.
