New Belgium Brewing is sponsoring Streetsblog Chicago this month as well as the Commuter Idyll contest. We ran this nationally across all of our blogs, but now we have a Chicago-specific version with one grand prize and three runners up.

The grand prize winner will receive:

• two complimentary beer tokens
• free food and access to the VIP area
• goodie bag with a t-shirt, bottle opener and pants strap for cycling.

Three runners-up will get VIP passes.

Last year, engineer Jake Williams told the inspiring tale of how he ditched his nightmarish 26-mile drive to a job in Lincolnshire and started a new gig in the city, which he could walk to in 12 minutes, greatly improving his health and happiness.

Share your story in the Streetsblog Chicago comments* and we'll pick winners next week!
