Singletrack’s 2016 Reader Awards Go Live

by 2

As far as anyone can remember, we’ve been hosting the Singletrack Reader Awards since about 2002. The Awards have shifted about a bit – having been hosted in London (by Phil Liggett, no less) and in Peebles as well as on our home turf of Todmorden and Hebden Bridge – but they’ve always been voted on by you, the reader, which makes them a great indication of public love for the bikes, components and people who’ve walked away with a precious wooden (or Perspex, or steel) orb, plinth or trophy.

A full list of the categories can be found here:

and at the bottom of each story is a link to the voting page. Think you know it all? Then you can go straight there.

There was dining and sharp suits. And checked, and flowery…

The 2016 Reader awards are no less important. The nominations are out and your vote is needed to choose the winnners in each of the categories.

Legendary photographer Vernor chats to Mr Bontrager. Probably about tyres.

The Singletrack Reader Awards evening will take place again in Hebden Bridge on Thursday 29th of September. All nominees are cordially invited, as well as all UK bike industry people. Last year’s event saw such big names at Keith Bontrager, Brian Vernor and Guy Martin rubbing shoulders with representatives from Madison, Zyro, Hope, Pace and more. Oh and us lot.

No band this year, all the money’s gone into buying beer!

We hope we’ll see lots of folks there for this year’s awards, but in the meantime, get voting!
