Advocacy Work

Donations help pay for the time it takes to work with levels of government and agencies to influence changes that make cycling and active transportation safer and more accessible:

• We lobbied the B.C. government to pass Bill 23, the first step in enabling cars and trucks to leave a safe passing distance between themselves and vulnerable road users.

• Our lobbying helped deliver B.C.’s first e-bike rebate program- so successful that the website crashed with the onslaught of requests. We would like to see it expanded and renewed in 2026.

•  Worked with ICBC on improved service to cyclists.

Bike Sense Education

Bike Sense has been a trusted source of information on bicycles and cycling to British Columbians since 2000. Learning about bikes and how to ride them—at any age, for any reason, in different conditions across British Columbia—is the purpose of Bike Sense.

The first many editions of Bike Sense were authored and edited by representatives of cycling advocacy organizations, cycling skills instructors and educators, and reviewed by transportation planners and related subject matter experts. Stakeholder contributions also informed the scope and tone of Bike Sense, and reflect some of the cultural changes occurring in personal mobility, whether for fitness, recreation, sport, transportation, or utility.
