AusCycling’s pioneering AusBike Digital program has been recognised with a Platinum Award at the 2025 LearnX Awards, receiving honours in the Micro-Learning category.
Developed in partnership with Playbk Sports, AusBike Digital redefines how foundational bike education is delivered across Australia.

Students progress through structured learning across Bike Basics, Bike Safety, Bike Skills and Social Awareness each delivered through short-form lessons, mastery quizzes and teacher support materials.
AusBike Digital has delivered significant national impact:
- 29,000+ students reached
- 22 micro courses
- 10+ minutes average engagement per session
