CAN-BIKE 2 is an advanced course in defensive cycling for commuters and recreational cyclists who already ride in traffic. It is Canada’s only nationally recognized safe cycling certification course. It is designed for more experienced cyclists, age 16 and up, who already ride in traffic and would like to take their skills and safety training to the next level.

A combination of classroom and on-bike instruction will improve your confidence and skill at riding safely in challenging traffic situations. CAN-BIKE 2 is also useful for people who use their bike in a professional capacity, or would like to do so in the future. Fields in which CAN-BIKE 2 certification might be required include: working with kids and bikes in a school or camp environment, working as a bike courier, riding a bike as a security guard, working or volunteering with a police or community policing organization, riding a bike as a nurse or emergency medical technician, etc.
