Huffy Inspires Americans to Find Wonder in the Outdoors

CENTERVILLE, Ohio, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans spend 89 percent of their time indoors and another 6 percent inside cars*...which means a mere 5 percent of their time is spent enjoying the outdoors and all the wondrous things it has to offer. In honor of Bike month (May) and to motivate Americans to spend time outside, Huffy is launching its first Wondrous Ride Giveaway on Facebook starting May 1.

The giveaway encourages Huffy fans to ride, seek and share on Facebook for chances to win Huffy Cruisers or the grand prize of a family of Huffy bikes.

"Huffy wants everyone to spend more time outdoors to experience the beauty of nature and the freedom of being outside," said Ray Thomson, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Huffy Corporation. "Our Facebook giveaway showcases all the wonder that can be found while riding and gives our fans a chance to win Huffy bicycles and have those wonderful experiences." 

Three ways to win**:

• Photo Share: From May 1 through June 5, participants that share a photo of something wondrous they found on a ride will be entered into a weekly drawing to win a pair of cruisers.
• Enter/Vote: From May 1 through June 26, enter daily for a chance to win a Huffy Cruiser at the conclusion of the sweepstakes. From June 5 to June 26, vote daily for a photo and get additional entries into the sweepstakes to win a Huffy Cruiser.
• Grand Prize: The 10 photos with the most votes at the end of the contest will be eligible to win a family of four bikes.

All the photos shared during the Wondrous Ride Giveaway will remain on Huffy's Wall of Wonders Gallery to inspire people to get outdoors, get on a bike and defy the 89 percent statistic.
