and relies solely on membership dues to maintain a strong voice for the motorcycling community. The British Columbia Coalition of Motorcyclists (BCCOM) is a professional lobbying organization that works on behalf of ALL motorcyclists’ rights in the province of BC. BCCOM was founded in 1985 by concerned riders who felt that they were facing discrimination based solely upon their mode of transportat
ion. Since its inception, BCCOM has evolved into so much more, becoming instrumental in the promotion of motorcycle safety, education and awareness in BC. BCCOM has increased the profile of the motorcycling community on both provincial and municipal levels of government. We have ensured input into government policies and legislation that affect the motorcycling lifestyle, be it sport, street or off-road riding. BCCOM endorses, recognizes and supports all aspects of motorcycling, from street and touring all the way to racing and off-road riding. BCCOM is a membership driven organization that relies solely on membership dues to maintain a strong voice for the motorcycling community. ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
