It’s time to choose your favourite products, bikes, features events and people of 2007, folks. It’s the seventh annual Singletrack Awards! As far as we know, the Singletrack Awards is the only completely readervoted award in the UK bike industry, which gives the awards that extra bit of kudos and gravity. They’re not based on advertising money, or favourite brands. Readers nominate

their favourite events, products and people, then vote. Simple. Last issue, we asked you to send in your nominations, and you did so in your hundreds. After whittling them down, we’ve got a shortlist of three or four for each category and we’re now asking you to make your selections and post us your opinions. Have a read through the categories and the nominations for each. Tick the boxes of

those you agree with and post it off to us. Photocopies are fine, but multiple entries will be binned.

We’ll pick a random name out of the bucket and they’ll win a Singletrack 2008 goodie hamper! This will include: a new Singletrack Howies merino wool T-shirt, a new Singletrack ‘beer’ T-shirt and a not-evenarrived yet, Singletrack Diner Mug!
