Social Madness!

BicycleSPACE has been nominated for a fun competition that pits us up against some of the most active businesses in the area.  The Washington Business Journal is now measuring our level of social engagement-- monitoring how much people interact with us on Facebook and Twitter-- in their Social Madness Contest

By virture of our large fan base, we got thrown right in to the large business category (on their website click on the tab entitled "large" across the top to find us in the rankings) and are up against some heavy hitters.  But if we advance in the competition, we could be tabbed to compete nationally!  And, we would love to show 'em what we got!

Now, it's clear to us that our fans are the best.  But, we only have until June 17th (four more days) to inspire you to get involved with our media channels so that we can advance to the next round.  In the coming days, we'll post a number of questions and maybe even contests to get you stirred up!  You can support us by liking things we post, leaving comments, and even replying to each others' comments. 

As well, if you vote for us on the Social Madness page, it will go a long way too.  To do so, find our name in the rankings in the "large" category and click vote next to us.  You'll have to log in, but we'd sure appreciate this extra effort!

Thanks for tuning in to all that we have going on-- you guys help us be the "most liked in DC"!
