As many of us realise, making Australia more bicycle
friendly requires action, commitment, innovation, vision and persistence.
Without the work of dedicated individuals, organisations and
local government, many of the facilities and initiatives we take for granted
today would not be there.
The Bicycling Achievement Awards were established in
2002 by the Cycling Promotion Fund to recognise innovation and
achievement and to inspire others.
Please consider nominating your local council or shire,
especially if they provide local cycle-specific infrastructure, advocacy,
sustainable transport initiatives and provide community forums, especially via
transport safety groups or bicycle advisory committees.
Maybe you know of a hard-working person in your area, a
cycling group, local school, bicycle shop, bicycle-friendly business,
councillor, politician or an organisation that deserves recognition from the
cycling community?
All nominees will be 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.
The Cycling Promotion Fund has created a dedicated website
to enable people to make registrations online.
