This year was the biggest celebration yet!

With nearly 200 nominations for your cycling superstars and £3K+ worth of fantastic prizes from our partners, 2023’s Celebration of Bikeability saw thousands of people get involved to recognise the people who make Bikeability so amazing.
We also had almost 5,000 votes across our social media channels for our People’s Champion – with the public deciding who should be named as champion for their hard work and dedication to all things Bikeability!
