On Tuesday (February 28) HUB Cycling celebrated Metro Vancouver’s top bike champions, including businesses, municipalities, workspaces, and schools at the 4th Annual Bike Awards at Science World.

The invitation-only event, hosted by Charles Gauthier, president of the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, shared the stories of individuals and organizations that are leading the way in making cycling an attractive choice for everyone.

Winners were selected by HUB Cycling staff and volunteer committees based on effort and investment put towards bike education and incentives for employees, on-site bike facilities, commitment to bike-related research, media and advocacy initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and Bike to Work and School Week participation.
