Sydney-siders must be weeping at the lack of government winners in that 
state. 
Russ Webber (Bike North, promoting a cycleway onto the existing Sydney
 Harbour Bridge cycle lane instead of the existing 40 odd stairs) also got 
an extremely well deserved gong.

One of the objectives of the 2008 Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards 
is the promotion of best practice.  To achieve this we develop a booklet 
that includes all nominations and winners.  The booklet provides a summary of all nominations and winners to share information about projects that 
promote cycling and/or make a contribution towards improving conditions 
for bicycle riders.

For more information about specific achievements please contact the 
individuals concerned. The award booklets recognise the great work being 
done around Australia to advance cycling. Hopefully they are also a source 
of inspiration.
