Friend of Bicycling Award

The Kalamazoo Bicycle Club's Friend of Bicycling Award will be voted on and awarded annually at the club's December meeting to an individual or other entity who "significantly advanced the interests of bicycling." Club members are not eligible as individuals, but an organization that a club member belongs to may be eligible. This paves the way for say, a journalist or philanthropist, a governmental unit, bike shop, or even another bicycling organization, to receive the recognition. Although many valid factors were discussed at the meeting, it was decided that the bicycling community stood to gain many benefits than it would risk by accepting the Committee's unanimous nomination for KBC's first-ever Friend of Bicycling Award.
This coming year we are accepting nominations from our entire membership. If you come across a particularly noteworthy individual or other entity you feel is worth nominating, please e-mail their name and contact information, with some reasons why you feel the nominee has significantly advanced the interests of bicycling, to Awards Committee. We are working to post a template on our club web site you can use, if you find that convenient, and will be posting reminders throughout the year, in Pedal Press.
