QLDC communications officer Jo Blick said the Right Way initiative, which starts on March 1, would be a month for people to think about the way they travel and about changing their travel behaviour for at least one day.
The Mayoral Bike Ride has been moved to March to tie in the two months, she said.
Local schools have been making the most of Bike Wise Month, with KingsView holding a bike skills day on Friday, and encouraging pupils to bike to school this week, and St Joseph's School and Remarkables Primary School hosting similar alternative transport activities.
Other organisations are taking part in the Bike Wise Challenge, competing to see who can get the most staff to ride a bike for at least 10 minutes, or 2km.
Queenstown competitors include Public Health South Queenstown with a total of 375km, National Bank Queenstown on 664km, and in first place, Lakes Environmental on 2059km.
The Mayoral Bike Ride will take place on March 6, with Mayor Vanessa van Uden leading a group from Kelvin Heights to Earnslaw Park via the Frankton Track at 10.30am.
Deputy mayor Lyal Cocks will simultaneously head another group in Wanaka, departing from the Log Cabin at the waterfront to Waterfall Creek via the Millennium Track.
A gold coin donation barbecue will be held at the end of the rides, with one bike to be won at each.
