Recreational riders and drivers in BC recognize the importance of protecting the right to ride.  HCBC members continue to struggle to keep their riding facilities open, fight to keep trails for riding and defend the safety of riding on the roads.  HCBC is a strong advocate for the recreational rider and driver and protecting their right to ride in their communities and parks, and in recreational areas throughout B.C.
