BQ Photo Contest Finalists

The results are in: Hundreds of photos from all over the world were entered in the BQ Photo Contest. It was fun to see so many different photos – in style and subject – and it was difficult to selected eight finalists. Many great photos didn’t make the cut.

Here are the ones we selected – now it’s up to you to vote for the winner, who will receive a $ 200 gift certificate from Rene Herse Cycles. All finalists will get a one-year subscription to Bicycle Quarterly, and their photos and associated stories will be published in the magazine.

So here they are, in random order, with Photo 1 above. Please vote for your favorite at the bottom of the post!
