Dear Bicycle Retailer,

The nominations for the Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards are closing very soon.

If your cycling business is running rides or organising interesting and fun programs to make it easier for people to ride in your local area, then you should nominate for the "Award for Contribution towards Cycling by a Bicycle Retailer"

These Awards are recognised nationally and each year the nominees and winners are awarded at a national event in Canberra with members of the government and opposition in attendance.

All winners and nominations are recognised in a full colour publication distributed nationally and with a media campaign to ensure the word about the winners gets out. The Cycling Promotion Fund organises the Awards because our federal politicians, national decision makers and all levels of government need to know the contribution that cycling is making in so many areas.

With this Award category we also want them to understand the contribution made by our cycle industry. This year, one of Australia’s most respected cardiovascular and medical research organisations, the Heart Foundation, is our major partner. This also adds to the credibility of the Awards and reinforces cycling’s importance in the area of preventative health.

By nominating and supporting the Awards you are ensuring that we continue to have really good stories to tell that will in turn support our efforts to get more support for cycling from the federal government in Canberra. Please consider nominating this week for the Awards.

• Closing date is 5pm, next Monday 12 April 2010
