December 4th, 2008

As our part of the 2008 Melbourne Bicycle Fim Festival we ran an Oscars inspired awards ceremony. Despite the rain we roasted, and toasted a handful of individuals who went that little bit further and take bicycles and cycling to the next level.

The first ‘Bicycles as Transport Awards‘ were held on Saturday 22nd November,

The awards and winners were:

‘Pit lane’ award for the fastest and ‘effective’ puncture repair-

• Won by John, who showed that slow and steady wins the race…

‘Lindsay Fox’ award for the biggest load carrying capacity,

• Won by Phuong, in her entry that has helped her move the inebriated and house contents

‘Connex’ award for the most people on a bike (almost safely)

• Won by Moz, with his ability to carry 11 people across the workshop floor.

‘Mudguards are hot’ award for the sexiest commuter bike

• Won by Michael, with his top condition Australia Post bike.

‘Best dressed’ award for the least lycra clad and most visible rider.

• Won by Lord and Lady Waygood on their tandem.

Congratulations and Thank You for all winners and entrants.
