We all have a dream cycling list in mind. Whether it’s the carbon fiber-everything bike we’ve been eyeing for months, some new clothes, or the ultimate upgrade kit, there’s something that every cyclist dreams of having. For a limited time, we can help you make that come true when you enter online for your chance to win a $1,000 shopping spree at Performance Bicycle.
When word about this contest got out around the office, it got us thinking about what we would do with $1,000 to spend at Performance. We asked some folks and got some pretty interesting answers.
So how about it? What would you spend $1,000 Performance Bucks on? Tell us in the comments section.
