Criteria

Across Australia and across a huge range of cultural, political and geographical contexts, cycling is the subject of a renewed focus due to its community amenity, health and sustainable mobility benefits.

Cycling leaders, whether volunteers, employed or political, are raising public acceptance, removing barriers, increasing safety and generally making it easier for the community to enjoy the benefits of cycling.

The work they do addresses diverse challenges, from cultural and geographical contexts to the maturity of local cycling cultures.

Cycling leaders employ a range of innovative strategies and display leadership and courage to drive change.

The award highlights the individuals who through their effort, initiative and passion have made tangible and important contributions to making it easier for people to ride a bike.
