Making Australia more bicycle friendly requires action, commitment, innovation, vision and persistence. Without the work of dedicated individuals and organisations, many of the facilities and initiatives we take for granted today would not be there.

The Cycling Promotion Fund, an initiative of Bicycle Industries Australia Ltd, believes that recognising innovation and commitment is vital in maintaining momentum and sustaining action around Australia. To achieve this we established the Bicycling Achievement Awards in 2002.

Since their inception the range and quality of nominations has increased considerably, illustrating the excellent work happening around Australia in shaping the future of bicycling.

Objectives of the Awards

• To recognise innovation, commitment and contribution towards promoting and encouraging cycling
• To lift awareness and the profile of innovative programs that are effective in increasing cycling
