Dream Bike Contest Winner

Nick Armstrong of Clear Lake was the winner of Parents Connection magazine’s “Dream Bike” contest held in the latest issue. A nine-year-old in fourth grade, Nick wrote about a fantasy dream bike with cool gadgets and features such as a “gravity leveler” to allow him to ride up the side of his house, a booster rocket and a force field generator to deflect crashes.

Thanks to Bike Barn of Clear Lake, Nick received his actual dream bike, a special–order blue Trek. Congratulations, Nick!
