Ride Leader Training
Cycling BC members interested in leading recreational club rides can register for Cycling BC’s Ride Leader course to help create safer group riding experiences for their club.
This RECOMMENDED course is designed to meet the needs of Cycling BC’s recreational adult cycling clubs for both road and off-road activities.
The module covers the following topics:
- Club Culture & Why Statements
- Route Planning & Pre-Ride Briefing
- Insurance, Liability, & Risk Management
- Emergency Scenarios & Action Plans
- Traffic Safety & Road Hazards
- Group Riding Etiquette
- Group Riding Formations
Our Ride Leader course was developed with contributions and support from the Glotman Simpson cycling club and the WOW Ride women’s cycling club. Cycling BC members can participate in our publically-available modules or schedule a private session for their club.
To achieve ‘certified’ status, ride leaders participate in the following:
- 2-hour ZOOM theory module (discussion-based)
- 3-hour group ride (lead a portion of the ride)
- Submit a reflective journal & emergency action plan (started during our call)
During registration, participants apply for a UCI Technical License (Cycling BC Ride Leader membership $104), a $0 surcharge for Prov Race or UCI race license holders or an $11 surcharge for Cycling For All members.
Upon registration, participants receive all of the resources to help them prepare. Upon completion, participants receive a digital certificate and are showcased on our Coach Registry.
