2008 Bicycling Achievement Awards

Nominations are now open. Many of the cycling facilities we take for granted today wouldn’t be there without the vision and persistence of dedicated individuals and organisations.  Maybe you know of a hard-working person, a cycling group, local school, bicycle shop, bicycle-friendly business, local council or shire, councillor, politician or an organisation that deserves recognition from the cycling community?  

 

All nominations are included in a booklet that is distributed far and wide. Winners in each category will also receive a cash prize of $1,000. Deadline for nominations is the 19th December 2008. We have created a dedicated website to enable people to make registrations online.
