Breakthrough Brand Award and, you guessed it, Cycle Café Award both added for this year's trade prizes

New categories revealed for BikeBiz Awards 2015

Breakthrough Brand and Cycle Café are the two new trophies launching at the BikeBiz Awards 2015. 

The Breakthrough Brand Award has been created to honour the new ranges that have managed to launch into a busy marketplace and stand out from the crowd, whether a nutrition brand, bike label, or something else entirely.

The Cycle Café trophy, also debuting this year (let’s face it, it was only a matter of time), is to celebrate the cream of the cycle cafe crop, whether a café specifically aimed at cyclists or a part shop/workshop/café business.

The BikeBiz cycle industry awards, now in their eighth year, are being backed by Platinum Sponsor Cycleguard.
