ProRIDE Survival Rider courses are conducted at Capilano University in North Vancouver. Click the button below for more information on this beautiful facility, as well as directions and a map.

Classes are conducted weekly between February and October each year, including holiday weekends. Each course runs 5 consecutive days, beginning on Thursday and concluding the following Monday. A new course begins each week on Thursday. Scroll down to the next section to see more info on Class Times, or click the “Schedules” button to access our Real-Time Calendar and view the next available course.

Classes run on three different schedules depending on the time of year:

During peak season we run two classes per week. At registration you will be given the option of choosing Day Class or Night Class. Note that Day Class and Night Class share the classroom time on the first two days. While we strive to finish our classes on time, unpredictable traffic conditions which may delay our return times are unfortunately beyond our control.

It is normal for most riding schools to be pre-booked weeks or even months in advance. There's always a chance for a last minute cancellation, however we do not keep a wait list. Our online registration system functions autonomously 24/7, and sudden openings arising from late cancellations will automatically appear instantly in real-time.

This two-step plan is the best way to get in as soon as possible:

1. Book in for the next earliest course; as the weather warms up, wait times will start to increase.
2. After booking a course, continue to monitor our online calendar. If a sudden opening comes up you can open up your existing booking and simply move it up to the earlier date.

If no earlier opening becomes available, then at least you have booked in to the next earliest course.

Finally, don't forget that a Motorcycle Learner's License is required to attend our course. The Learner's test is available at an ICBC testing centre BY APPOINTMENT only, and ICBC is backlogged by months at this time. If you haven't already obtained the learner's license, then you can follow the same two-step process above to book yourself in at ICBC. More info on licensing:

You may cancel your course on up to two-weeks notice and receive a full refund. Late Cancellations and Missed Classes are addressed in our School Policies.

Our classroom presentation will feature a thorough discussion about safety gear, including an opportunity for Q&A. Some students may elect to defer any large purchases until after this presentation, and that's perfectly fine with us.

Until you purchase your long-term safety gear & apparel, you can wear a short-term solution. A sturdy jacket that zips up, along with a pair of long pants and some hiking boots with high socks may be sufficient for now, but keep in mind that these items provide minimal protection in the event of a fall. Consider wearing your elbow and knee pads if you're worried about falling.

A Full-Face Helmet with chin protection is required for the course. Bring your own or borrow ours. See below for a list of recommended safety gear.

We have a diverse array of bikes in our fleet, including scooters, cruisers, sport bikes, standard and dual sport motorcycles from heavyweight brands such as Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Our fleet ranges in size and power, including bikes in the 111-400cc class, as well as the 401-750cc class.  Our lowest bike seats at just 26 inches, so even the most petite of riders can touch the ground with their feet flat while stopped or reversing.  The bikes are constantly rotating as we are buying and selling bikes frequently.

Each ProRIDE bike has been upgraded with the student's safety in mind, including one or more of the following on each bike:

• Sliders, Engine Guards, and/or Hand Guards
• LED lighting for visibility in daylight, nighttime, and rainy conditions
• After-market horn for a stronger street-presence

The diversity of our fleet is one of the strengths of our school, and each student in our course has the opportunity to ride as many different motorcycles as possible.  Not only will this will help to ensure you get the most thorough education possible, but also you'll be better prepared to make an informed decision when it comes time to purchase your 1st bike.

ProRIDE classes run rain or shine. Quite frankly, learning to ride in the rain makes you a better rider. Few riders plan to ride in the rain, but since we live in "Raincouver", getting caught in the rain is not a question of "if", but rather a question of "when". Learning to ride in the rain will help you prepare to face this challenge when it comes.

On the rainy days we open a couple of 10-ft canopies so you can dry off in-between each exercise.  We also provide Stormtech Rain Gear, or bring your own.  Just the same we recommend you bring a towel and a change of clothes for the drive home,  just in case.
