As bicycle riding has grown across Australia, the awards have evolved and matured to reflect the bicycle community’s achievements from the smallest remote community to national programs in towns and cities.
The 2023 awards will celebrate achievements of the people, the places and the programs that got Australians riding in the last 12 months.
Hosted by the Federal Parliamentary Friends of Cycling, the Gala Dinner will be held in the Mural Hall at Parliament House in Canberra
With TV personality Osher Gunsberg MC for the evening, the dinner will also feature the launch of the 2023 Australian Cycling Economy Report – a critical report of the impact of riding on the Australian Economy.
Nominations are now closed for 2023 and we look forward to recognising the champions and heroes making Australia a better place to ride a bike when the Awards are announced in Parliament House on the 15th November.
