Earlier this month we held a Facebook Giveaway for a chance to win a sold-out Holstee Fin. Here was the challenge: 

To win: We have been amazed by how many people have taken the initiative to write down their own Manifesto of values and goals for life after being inspired by the Holstee Manifesto. We think this is a great way of defining what matters to you and what you actively seek out of each and every day. So- we want to hear what would be on your personal Manifesto! 

We were blown away by the amazing responses that came in and absolutely loved reading the entries. It was definitely a challenge to pick one winner, so we chose two! Congratulations to Anthony and Hallie, and thank you to all who shared their wisdom with us! The winning Manifestos:

"To show others that they, along with life, are beautiful. That true wealth is not measured by the size of one's house, by luxury cars, or the amount of money in a bank account. But that true wealth is measured by one's life experiences, by the friends we make and take along on our never ending journey, and the impact we leave on others once we are gone."  -Anthony of California 

"Challenges help you learn every day of you life." -Hallie, age 7

CLIF Bar is challenging us to rethink the commute. Did you know that in the United States, an estimated 40% of urban travel is under two miles? 90% of those trips are taken by car (yikes!). In an effort to engage the community in the fight against climate change, the CLIF Bar 2-Mile Challenge was created as a call to replace as many car trips as possible with a bicycle. We love it!

To further celebrate and encourage bicycle lifestyles, CLIF Bar has partnered with GOOD to offer a contest to benefit organizations championing the bicycle movement. Three winners will be chosen to win up to $5,000 for a bicycle nonprofit of his or her choice (plus, a year's supply of CLIF Bars!). In order to win, submit a photograph along with your best bike story here by September 5th.

Check out the CLIF Bar 2-Mile Challenge and learn more about the power of rethinking the commute!

Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride. -JFK
