Bike Auckland (Bike AKL), formerly Cycle Action Auckland (CAA) is a pro-cycling advocacy group in Auckland, New Zealand. The predominantly volunteer group aims to improve infrastructure and conditions, as well as perceptions of cycling to encourage more "everyday people" to use bicycles, including for commuting and recreation.[1]

Affiliated with Cycling Action Network, the group focuses on Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. The group also more generally calls for increased funding for cycling infrastructure and safety measures.[2]

The first chair (up until 2008) was Bevan Woodward.[3] The chair from 2008 to 2021 was Barbara Cuthbert.[4] The chair from 2021 to 2023 was Tony Mitchell.[5] The current chair as of September 2024 is Karen Hormann.[6]
