In previous years, a variety of individuals from the bicycle industry and cycle sport have received gongs in the Queen's New Year Honours list. This year, the list is a short one. Well done to cycle advocate Brian Curtis, secretary of Cycling Scotland and now able to add OBE to his business cards, but where are the awards for Britain's world champion cyclists and industry stalwarts? YOU can nominate them. Here's how.
