About the awards
The Cycling Luminaries Awards have been led by We Ride Australia (previously the Cycling Promotion Fund) and celebrated by the bicycle community since 2002.
As bicycle riding has grown across Australia, the awards have evolved and matured to reflect the bicycle community’s achievements and the expectations of all Australians who want to ride more.
From 2016 we have celebrated the Awards as part of the Australian Bicycle Summit.
The winners in the three categories announced in 2018 were:
Tina McCarthy, Wheel Women – Leadership Award
