Protecting kids on our roads is a year-round commitment. Teach the kids in your life to stop, look left, right, left again, and make eye contact with the driver before crossing. Small habits build lifelong safety. #SafeSpeedsForKids

It's GoByBike Week! Swap four wheels for two and make your commute better. Ride safe: lights, helmet, eyes ahead. Drivers, give space. We share these roads. Learn more at gobybikebc.ca. #GoByBikeBC

Most riders know: gear up every ride—helmet, jacket, boots—even for 10 minutes. What gear never leaves you? #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

The average age of a motorcyclist injured or killed in a B.C. crash is 46. Many riders have years of experience. Experience matters but it doesn’t remove risk. Staying alert and riding defensively still makes a difference. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

Most motorcycle crashes in B.C. happen at intersections, often when drivers turn across riders. Before turning, look twice: once for cars, once for motorcycles. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

Motorcycles look closer and slower than they really are. A safe following distance helps give riders space to respond to wind, road conditions, and sudden changes. When passing, leave plenty of room. More space usually feels right because it is. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

Top cause of B.C motorcycle crashes? Distraction, not speed. 🚴 Riders, phones are as risky on bikes as in cars 🚗 Drivers, a glance down can make riders vanish. Eyes up, everyone! #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

MYTH: 'I would have seen the motorcycle if it was there.' FACT: Motorcycles are easy to miss, especially at intersections. Half of B.C. crashes happen when drivers turn across riders. Before turning left, look twice for motorcycles. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad

Your #motorcycle sat since October. Check tires, brakes, chain, cables before riding. If unsure, see a mechanic. Refresh skills by practising braking and cornering safely. Winter affects bike and instincts. Take time getting back on the road. #MotorcycleSafetyBC #ShareTheRoad
