"The Bicycle Friendly Business Awards recognize and thank businesses and organizations in the City of Toronto that support and promote cycling. This support can take many forms, and includes encouraging employees, clients and customers to cycle.

The Golden Spokes are awards handed out by the Toronto Cyclists Union recognizing individual or group efforts to improve cycling in Toronto. They are a celebration of cycling and serve to illustrate how many people across Toronto are committed to bicycling and want to work together to make Toronto a more bike-friendly city.

The I Bike T.O. Awards are handed out by the I Bike T.O. bloggers to one individual and one group who have most acted as advocates for cycling in Toronto."
