Oct 16, 2013 | by Active Trans

Share your experiences biking, walking or using public transportation in Chicagoland in the form of a haiku! This is the final week for Active Trans' haiku contest. Deadline to submit haikus is Oct. 21. /

The winner will receive a free membership (or membership renewal) to Active Trans, a free event registration, and a $50 REI giftcard.

Here’s one to get you going — a contest submission by Josh Grode Wolters.

Liz Kramer submitted several haikus with the note: I write missed connection bike haikus to people who make me angry or happy on my commute. Here's one of her submissions.

If you've been putting off your submission, now's the time. Read the rules and submission details here.
