Cycling, although a beautiful sport, has inherent risks associated with it. To ensure our members are covered in case of accident, our insurance is active anytime a member is on a bike anywhere in Canada. This means commuting, group rides, races, Mountain Biking, Gravel Riding, going long distance solo or just puttering around the neighborhood.
