We already know the Strida rocks. The reason being that the bikes are both total eye candy yet practical in any green commuter’s eyes. But, as is so often the case, style plus sensibility equals an insane price tag and these bad boys fit the mold rolling in at $950 a pop.

Wouldn’t it be dreamy to snag one for free? You can! Starting today, beat-up bike owners have the chance of winning the fabulous folding bike—in Inhabitat and Areaware’s appropriately dubbed Pimp My Eco-Ride Contest. You just need to sign up for Inhabitat’s newsletter, submit your photographic evidence of your dingy old two-wheels, and do it all before Friday, June 19—the contest deadline.

Just don’t let the shiny and new disrupt your good, green habits. If you do win, make sure to make use of your old bike—donating it, selling it or reusing its parts—instead of letting it R.I.P. landfill-style.

Click over to Inhabitat to get the rules and entrance details.

Good luck!
