London is enjoying a surge of interest in cycling. Now it’s time to recognise the good work that has encouraged people to cycle.

The award categories this year are:

Please submit your own project or any other project or cycle facility you consider worth nominating and pass this email on to anyone who you think may be interested in sending in a nomination, whether it’s a local community group, school, youth club, employer, council officer or organisation.
