Lappeenranta has been nationally recognised as a developer of cycling. The 'Suomi Pyöräilee' (Finland cycles) working committee granted the Cycling City of the Year 2015 award to Lappeenranta at the GoExpo Bicycle Fair in Helsinki on the 6th of March.

The award criteria included the goal-oriented development of the network of main cycling routes between the city’s districts and the way active cyclists have been consulted in the improvement of cycling conditions over the years.
