Ellen's Trek giveaway

I just happened to be flipping channels at home this morning when I suddenly noticed Ellen DeGeneres standing around with a bunch of bicycles.

It turns out that she was giving away Trek's Lime bicycle to her audience. And not only that, she's giving away Lime bicycles to lucky members of her TV audience!

So I went ahead and took a chance.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Trek's Lime bicycle, here's some facts about it:

• The Lime shifts automatically, using an three-speed rear hub electronic Shimano shifting system powered by a generator in the front hub. "It works kind of like the the automatic transmission in your Aunt Edna's Buick," Trek says.
• Lime's seat folds up to reveal a handy storage space.
• You can pick a variety of colors to trim your Lime, everything from pink to -- of course -- lime green.

You probably wouldn't want to take a Trek Lime on a weeklong bicycle trip, but it just might be the right bike for bicycle commuting, running errands or cruising around Mackinac Island.

If you want to get in the running for one of Ellen's Trek Limes, you better sign up today because she has a different giveaway each day.
