IT'S BIKE TO WORK MONTH!!

June is Bike to Work Month in BC. Leave your car keys at home, and hop on your bike - or take some other alternative form of transportation.

5 Basic Principles for Biking from Bike Sense BC:

  • Maintain your bicycle in good working order
  • Be as visible as possible to others
  • Learn the skills needed to control your bike
  • Cycle in traffic safely and predictably
  • Know and obey the rules of the road

And don't forget to:

  • Wear a helmet
  • Ride defensively
  • Use your hand signals
