A person operating a bicycle on a highway in BC has the same rights and duties as the driver of a vehicle. Bicycle training courses are an effective way to increase your skills and confidence on the road.
See the BikeSense Cycling Education page for a list of bicycle education and safety courses and instructors in the region.
ICBC (the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) has some resources for children and bikes, including Bicyle Saftey Tips. ICBC also offers a "scavenger hunt" poster to help small children learn about bicycle safety gear.
