The 18th Annual Golden Wheel Awards ceremony and fundraiser was held on Tuesday, April 27th to celebrate our work as leaders of change and honor those who are creating great streets and a world-class bicycling city. First, San Francisco Streetsblog for their intelligent journalism that is leading the conversation and helping more people understand the connection between bicycling, great streets and a livable city. Second, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition member Michael Helquist for his leadership which has propelled our Good Roads Campaign to the next level by influencing City decision makers to prioritize bicycling in their work.

More than 275 people joined us at the historic Green Room in the War Memorial Building to celebrate our work as leaders of change. The event raised $75,000 for the SF Bicycle Coalition's work to create great streets and a world-class bicycling.

City leaders like Nathaniel Ford, Director of the SF Municipal Transportation Agency; Tom Nolan, Chairman of the SF Municipal Transportation Agency Board; Johanna Partin, Director of Climate Protection Initiatives in the Office Mayor Newsom and Jose Cisneros, City Treasurer mingled with various community and business leaders, decision makers and Bicycle Coalition members.

David Chiu, President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors was the keynote speaker for the event. Supervisor Chiu shared his personal experiences about bicycling in San Francisco over the last decade and inspired the crowd to imagine San Francisco in 2020 when we'll have a city that truly embraces bicycling as a means of transportation.
