Awards and postcards

We’re looking for nominations for the Best in Cycling Awards for Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. You can make your nomination here – Best in Cycling Awards. We know that Aberdeen has a long way to go before we can truly claim to be a cycling city but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate and recognise the people, businesses, employers, and schools that are trying now to improve conditions for cyclists. It could be great cycle parking or showers for employees or something else. We also have a cycle raspberry category for the worst infrastructure. Make your nominations here. Entries close on the 13th December.

We’ve also still got postcards left for the King Street cycle path campaign. These are all addressed to the Aberdeen City Council and we want as many as possible to reach the council this month because councillors will be voting on the SUMP (sustainable urban mobility plan) in November. If you haven’t posted one to the council yet then please do so. The postcards are available at Foodstory Café and Newton Dee. If you can distribute some postcards then please contact us and we can give you a larger batch.
