Bicycle travelers -- who's your hero? Nominate them for Adventure Cycling's 7th annual Bicycle Travel Awards! Help us honor those who go above and beyond to encourage bike travel in the United States.
? The Pacesetter Bicycle Travel Award recognizes the efforts of those that have supported or promoted bicycle travel in the U.S. in an exemplary way. This award is named after Charlie Pace (Columbus, OH), who has spent decades creating and supporting bicycle-travel opportunities.
? The June Curry Trail Angel Award thanks a generous individual or group that has made a traveling cyclist's journey easier, or possible, and is named after June Curry (Afton, VA), the famous "Cookie Lady" of the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail. Over the course of three decades June has brightened the journey of over 11,000 touring cyclists by providing them with refreshments along the way.
? The Braxton Bike Shop Award honors a bike shop that has promoted bike travel in an outstanding fashion, and built enthusiasm about bike touring in their community. Braxton Bike Shop (Missoula, MT), the inaugural winner of this award, was integral to the success of Bikecentennial ?76, the event that kick-started Adventure Cycling Association.
Winners will be featured in Adventure Cyclist magazine and on the Adventure Cycling blog. They will receive a free year of membership, a framed certificate, and a gift certificate for Cyclosource -- the Adventure Cycling online store.
