Road Rules

"It's expected this year in Manitoba that 60 cyclists will be seriously injured in a fall or collision. Following the rules of the road can help you from becoming one of them."

Sizing

"Bikes come in a variety of styles and colours, and when you're out shopping for one, make sure you get the bike that's properly sized for you."

Helmets

"A bike helmet is probably the most important piece of equipment a cyclist can own...and getting the right fit is important."

Low Light Riding

"Safe riding practices are important any time, but remember--the risks go up when the sun is down."

Police Bike Patrols

"Wear your helmet, use your signals, and ride safe--it could save your life, and save you money."
