The competition includes two categories of winners: businesses that promote commuting by bike and businesses that promote the safety of their working cyclists. The competition showcases contributions made by the private sector to make New York City friendlier for cyclists. DOT anticipates more entries than ever this year, as buildings ramp up to meet the requirements of the bike-access legislation, Local Law 52, which requires many office building owners to allow bicycle access to tenants on request and goes into effect in December.
