Funding will allow for bike rodeos to be hosted in 25 communities across Northern BC.

Northern Brain Injury Association will host 25 bike rodeos across the northern region. These bike rodeos will support participants to develop the skills required to cycle safely in their community. In addition to road safety, participants will learn the proper fit and use of a helmet. This program will not only support cycle safety in summer months but will expand to include the promotion of helmet use for winter sports such as skiing.

“Our project will focus on organizing bike rodeos to ensure that cyclists of all ages have the tools for safe bike riding on public roads while ensuring that ‘sharing the road’ principles are followed. We will strive to ensure that helmets are worn correctly and are appropriate for the activity being enjoyed. Our program will be expanded to include winter sports. We will target ski hills and backcountry enthusiasts. We will promote the use of helmet safety.”
