Got Cycling Stories? Tail Spin a new Bike Zine wants to hear them

Call For Submissions: TaleSpine - A Bike Zine

TaleSpin is a new ‘zine about cycling. Whether you ride Road, Fixed, Mountain, BMX, or Penny Farthing, and whether you ride daily or not since the banana seat went out of style, we want your stories, essays, poetry, photography and other artwork.

The theme of our inaugural issue is “First Times”. Tell us about your first bike ride, your first crash, your first spin class, your first flat tire, your first bike race, your first…anything, as long as it happened on, under, near, or because of a bike.

All submissions will be considered. Articles (100 " 1,000 words) should be sent by e-mail as attached Word documents. Image files should be approximately 5” x 7”, 300+ dpi (.JPG or .TIF format). All contributors will receive a byline for their work and a complimentary copy of the issue in which their work appears. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 19, 2010.

TaleSpin is being produced by Team Atomic, a Baltimore-based cycling team that rides to raise fund for Moveable Feast of Maryland. All proceeds from sales of TaleSpin will be donated to Moveable Feast’s Ride for the Feast. TaleSpin will be available locally for purchase at Atomic Books (Hampden); through the Team Atomic website, and at area bike shops.
