Citizens for Safe Cycling (CfSC) is a not-for-profit incorporated, independent, membership-based organization founded in 1984. It is a voluntary association made up of cyclists like you who work for better, safer, environmentally-friendly cycling in the Ottawa area. CfSC is directed by a volunteer board whose members are experienced and committed cyclists and run by a broad base of active volunteers, several of whom are long-term cycling instructors. The organization promotes greater bicycle use and enjoyment, cycling safety and awareness, bicycle route and road conditions that are safer as well as more pleasant, and an overall increased respect for cyclists in the public domain.

Help us to promote safe and efficient cycling in Ottawa by advocating:

• Acceptance of the responsible cyclist as a legitimate road-user
• Education of all cyclists to improve their riding and traffic skills and also of other road-users to help them accommodate cyclist traffic as part of their normal driving skills
• Improved engineering to facilitate cyclist traffic such as proper traffic control systems, adequate lane widths and sufficient, secure parking
• Legislation that is effective and properly enforced
• Representation of cycling issues to all levels of government
