Wellington MP Charles Chauvel presented each winner with a uniquely designed "bicycle-bell" trophy, and all winners and finalists with a certificate.
Mr Chauvel said, "It will always be easy to find an excuse to drive short distances, but with your help, I hope together we can encourage more and more New Zealanders to reconnect with the cycle and make far more pedal-powered trips in future."
