The Bike to the Future Awards are an opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and contribution to cycling from cycling champions across the country, as well as New Zealand’s best cycling projects.
These awards celebrate the pedal pushers, cycling leaders, communities and individuals who have put their energy and innovation into making cycling a safer, more attractive transport choice. You can take a look at last year’s winners here.
In 2018 the NZ Transport Agency and Cycling Action Network (external link) (CAN) are sponsoring the awards again and welcome the innovative cycling initiatives and passionate cycling champions from across the country that are helping to make New Zealand an even greater place to cycle.
This category covers organisations including businesses and schools which have made significant efforts to encourage and support cycling for staff, customers, or students.
This category covers excellence in design, engineering and construction of transport infrastructure which has had a significant impact on encouraging more people to cycle and create a more bike-friendly future.
This category recognises the outstanding contribution made by an individual to the promotion of cycling.
This category covers initiatives and events which have educated, inspired, celebrated, promoted or encouraged cycling. They will have had a positive influence on changing attitudes towards cycling, irrespective of whether a person subsequently chooses to ride a bike.

The 2017 Bike to the Future Awards winners were announced at the Asia Pacific Cycle Congress (external link) dinner on 19 October 2017.
