Who is HUB Cycling?

HUB Cycling, a nonprofit organization, has been at the forefront of cycling advocacy with a mission to get more people cycling more often. They’ve been shaping a sustainable transportation future for Metro Vancouver for over 25 years, working to improve cycling infrastructure and make biking a safe, convenient, and enjoyable mode of travel.

Key events like GoByBike Week, Bike to School Week, Street Wise Cycling Courses, and the HUB Bike Awards demonstrate their commitment to promoting a healthy, active, and sustainable lifestyle for everyone in Metro Vancouver.

The 12th Annual HUB Bike Awards: Celebrating Excellence

The HUB Bike Awards spotlight individuals, organizations, and businesses that go above and beyond to support Vancouver cycling initiatives. This celebration of success and a call to action inspires more people to participate in the movement toward a greener future.

This year, we at Fairware are proud to have again contributed to creating the awards for this event. Each award has been sustainably crafted by ChopValue, a local company that transforms recycled chopsticks into stunning, functional products. By working with ChopValue, we ensured that the awards not only recognize excellence but also reflect the values of sustainability and resourcefulness.

How the Awards Were Made

The HUB Bike Awards trophies are a testament to creativity and sustainability. Here’s how they came to life:

  1. Collection: Chopsticks discarded by restaurants across Metro Vancouver are collected, diverting thousands from landfills.
  2. Transformation: ChopValue’s team cleans, presses, and turns these chopsticks into durable engineered wood.
  3. Design: The awards are then custom-designed and engraved with the names of the winning participants, creating a unique and meaningful keepsake.

This innovative process reduces waste and demonstrates how everyday items can be repurposed into something extraordinary.
