Most of the winners will be decided by an expert judging panel, who will offer years of combined experience in the cycling industry. However the Woman of the Year and the IBD of the Year Categories will be decided by public vote, open to anyone in the cycle industry, while the Diversty Champion award is decided by the BikeBiz team.
