BikeBiz.com has campaigned for many years running for an end to impersonal Christmas cards. Give the money you would have spent to a cycle-related charity instead. Many companies have now taken this on board and the database-driven Chrimbo card merry-go-round is slowly, and happily, grinding to a halt.

Corporate Christmas Card of the Year

The top award for best electronic card goes to Procycling magazine. The Highbury team has gone to the effort of commissioning a Christmas Special of the mag’s Plastic Peleton People.

And, from the US, top-marks to Pacific Cycle for putting a road bike on its Christmas card when it could so easily have done a jokey card with Santa on a Stingray.

Happy Christmas from BikeBiz.com!
