Grainge and Allsopp Memorial Awards - Nominations open
0 comments at 6:00 pm posted by Chris C
Every year at the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters’ Society annual general meeting (AGM), we award two people with awards recognizing their contribution to the cycling community. These awards are gift certificates to Mountain Equipment Co-op (no useless plaques here), and recognition during our AGM, in our newsletter, and here on our website.
The Dale Allsopp Award is awarded to people for bringing something special to the organisation (innovation, volunteering, energy). The Jack Grainge Award is given to celebrate a life-time commitment to cycling in the broader community. You can read more about the awards and the individuals we’re commemorating here.
If you have someone to nominate for either award, send an e-mail to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with a paragraph or two (or more, if you like) explaining why your nominee deserves the award. The deadline for nominations is September 8, 2009 and recipients will be selected by the board of EBC.
Our AGM will be on Sunday, September 13, 2009 and is open to the public (whether or not you’re a member). For more details about the AGM, click here.

The Kickstand Circus - Cruiser Nite
The Kickstand Circus is a group of people who understand that only a cruiser is truly made for cruising, that sometimes style is more important than speed, and that no amount of “aftermarket cool” will turn your fixie into a cruiser. You can only ride a cruiser bike on a cruiser nite. If this makes sense, you’re part of the Kickstand Circus.
