Congratulations to Livable Streets Community member silverlynx for his stunning submission to our Profile Photo Contest!

The first prize of a bike gift basket donated by B's Bikes in Williamsburg, Brooklyn goes to him.

Runners up include:

    • lizonthebus for a photo of herself in what appears to be a brilliant BART train Halloween costume;

    • George Osner, an urban planner and 40-year bike commuter from Modesto, CA, for his creative pose behind a bicycle dream catcher (made by his friend Craig Sawyer);
    • and an honorable mention to Transportation Alternatives' Graham T. Beck for the captivating scene at right.

All finalists will receive a complimentary advance copy of the soon-to-be-released Streetfilms Toolbox DVD.
