Six great reasons to enter

It is free, it takes a few minutes and your bike has earned it.

  • Your bike gets its own page

    Your words, your photographs, your name in print. A home on the web for a machine that has earned one.

  • You could take the title

    Each month one bike is named Bike of the Month. It could be the one hanging in your garage.

  • Top billing

    Every winner takes the featured spot on the Ebykr home page and stars in The Ebykr Digest.

  • A place in the record

    Each Bike of the Month is documented in full and added to the Tech Specs Database.

  • An audience that gets it

    Nobody here will ask why you need another bicycle. Still curious about a part or a past owner? We will put your question to our readers.

  • Bragging rights

    One link to send to the club, the group chat and every friend who doubted the restoration.

It is free, it takes a few minutes and you do not need an account. We will write back and ask for your photographs.

How it came to you, what is original and what is not. A few sentences is enough.

We will put the question to our readers on your bike’s page.

Bicycles have always been the star

For well over a century, makers have crowned, decorated and worshipped their machines in print. All of these posters live in the Ebykr archive. Now it is your bike’s turn.

The small print

One entry per bike. Entry is free and there are no cash or merchandise prizes. A past Bike of the Month cannot win it again. Bikes owned by the editor cannot enter. The editor’s decision is final and a month with no suitable bike is skipped. Voting needs a free Ebykr account, one vote per account and we may remove votes that do not look genuine.
