<p class=MsoNormal>Dear fellow bicycle riders,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Cycling Promotion Fund is contacting you to inform you
and your cycling group that nominations are now open for the 2008 Australian
Bicycling Achievement Awards. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As many of us realise, making Australia more bicycle
friendly requires action, commitment, innovation, vision and persistence. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Without the work of dedicated individuals and organisations,
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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Maybe you know of a hard-working person in your <span
style='color:#1F497D'>area</span>, 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? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Cycling Promotion Fund has created a dedicated website
to enable people to make registrations online. <o:p></o:p></p>
