We sell CAY memberships online with CCN Bikes. Everyone must sign a waiver, and for under-age cyclists, a parent/guardian must sign their waiver. At the time of purchase of your CAY membership, you can also join a Yukon cycling club. Some fees may apply.
Benefits of a membership
When you buy a membership that includes insurance, you are protecting yourself during all of that year's events and programs and supporting the development of Yukon cycling at all levels.
CAY Competitive and Community memberships are covered with both General Liability and Sport Accident coverage which means comprehensive protection riding during sanctioned events. CAY members also have the option to buy a $25 insurance add-on to provide coverage during any and all training rides or a $100 insurance add-on providing 24/7 anytime coverage on a bike.
$10 of memberships is the Yukon Cycling Supporter fee that goes to support trail maintenance activities, kids programs, cycling advocacy, education, training and safe-cycling initiatives. Your membership grows our sport and strengthens the voice for cycling in the Yukon.
The cost of membership also includes a Cycling Canada member affiliation fee. As a member, you get Cycling Canada partner discounts and access to theft and damage bicycle insurance (Coming early 2025). 100% of this fee goes directly to supporting national level programs.

Commonly asked questions about our insurance program
What does the Liability Policy cover?
It would be lengthy to list all the insuring agreements under the policy but, in many cases, inquiries relate to the concept of Liability Insurance.
General Liability Insurance is designed to protect a person (member) or any entity (CAY, Club) against any legal responsibility arising out of a negligent act or a failure to act as a prudent person would have acted, which results in bodily injury or property damage to another party.
Who is an Insured?
All employees, volunteers, officers, directors, coaches, managers, officials, member participants, auxiliary workers while acting within the scope of their duties on behalf of CAY and a club.
What is a sanctioned event?
Sanctioned events include all competitions or sports demonstrations run by CAY and or by member clubs in good standing authorized by CAY including related training at sites of events and club premises.
Training
What is considered training under the Liability Policy?
Liability does not provide 24-hour coverage. All training activities must be documented and approved by CAY. Commuting and recreational cycling activities (i.e riding your bike to the store) are not considered training.
Clubs
What is the definition with respect to a member of the insurance program?
The insurance is based on the "reported" member’s names on file with CAY. The membership numbers are reported to the insurance brokers office of Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited.
What activities are covered?
All sanctioned and approved Cycling activities including competitions run by clubs who are members in good standing.
What about events with non-member participants?
Provided the event is sanctioned and the ratio of non-members is within the parameters set by CAY. Please note that insurance benefits will only extend to members however, if a non-member is named individually in a lawsuit they will not be defended by the Liability Policy.
Can a non-member be signed up as a club member at the time of the event?
Yes, as long as the waivers are signed, insurance premium collected, and these individuals are included in the reported membership numbers to CAY for the insurance program.
Are the member bicycles covered?
Personal belongings of members are not covered automatically. Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited has arranged a Bike Insurance Program where members can pay an additional premium to insure their bicycles. Please contact us for more information.
Sport accident
Does the policy provide 24-hour coverage?
No, only while participating in a training program, sanctioned tour, competition and travelling to and from the program, which is approved by and under the supervision of proper authority of the CAY or the club of which the Insured is a member.
Is it possible to expand this coverage to include individual, non-sanctioned training activities (members training on their own time)?
Yes, for an additional fee the Sport Accident Coverage can be extended to cover individual training activities or 24/7 coverage. This is an option when you buy a membership online.
Does the Sport Accident Policy cover members participating in training camps outside of Canada?
Yes, as long as it is a sanctioned training camp, the policy will cover medical expenses incurred upon return to Canada. Expenses incurred abroad will require Travel Medical Coverage.
Single event memberships
What does a CAY single event membership include?
A single event membership covers you with the same comprehensive general liability insurance, but no sport accident coverage. This type of membership is good for a single event and cannot be reused.
To buy, register for an event or program and if you don't already have a CAY annual membership you will be prompted to purchase a single event membership.
You can buy up to 3 of these memberships per year.
