Here's an awesome contest, ideal for any urban bike rider: Pimp my green bike contest. The deadline's just been extended to Wed, June 24 (midnight). To enter you just have to sign up for a newsletter, send a pic and a story, and you can win this weird looking folding bike.

"All you have to do to win is provide us with photographic evidence of why you need this awesome bicycle - is your current ride a crusty old clunker? Is there a mammoth mountain of steps leading up to your 6th floor walkup apartment? Whatever the case, upload your photos after the jump and leave a comment explaining why we should pimp your eco-ride, and we'll be selecting one lucky winner to receive this beautiful limited edition Strida bicycle valued at $950!"

(Btw, this tip comes from one of my favorite blogs, Inhabitat, which is all about green design.)
