Hackney Council wins an award for Bike the Borough
This from a Hackney officer:

On Thursday night in Birmingham, Bike Around the Borough won the 2013 Modeshift Award for Best Cycling Initiative. This is terrific recognition for a great event. The awards are decided by vote by the Modeshift members, which include representatives from most Local Authorities in the country, regional transport authorities (TfL and Transport for Greater Manchester) and other sustainable transport organisations such as Sustrans and Living Streets making it sort of like the People's Choice awards for Sustainable Transport.

Bike Around the Borough was especially commended for its strong partnership work between the Council, the Met Police, CTUK and of course, the schools.
