Praino, an Arlington resident, is among five finalists to win a dream trip to the Tour de France and to play a role to U.S.-Italian bicycling team Team Liquigas-Cannondale. Like the other contestants, Praino, 27, entered by submitting a two-minute video that described how biking has affected his life and his most memorable moment from the Tour de France. The deadline for voting in the contest is Friday. To cast your vote and see Praino’s video, visit http://www.facebook.com/RideCannondale. So, are you really into biking, then?

I race locally and ride with teams in the Arlington area. It was something I got into as a kid. I got my first road bike when I was 12 and started riding competitively in college.
