Celebration of Bikeability

Celebrating our Bikeability superstars

Every year we give out awards to the people and organisations that are encouraging children, young people, families and more to start cycling and switch to more sustainable transport methods.   

Join us across our social media channels to honour all the children who have completed Bikeability – and the people who have supported them.

This year, Celebration of Bikeability Day will take place on Bikeability socials on Friday 17 July 2026.

Nominations are NOW OPEN! You have until midnight on Sunday 31 May to nominate your cycling stars.
