About ARC

Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists is a cycling advisory group that was founded in 1996 with the initial aims of forming a legal defence fund for cyclists and successfully lobbying for a coroner's inquest following two cyclist fatalities involving large trucks. (See http://www.toronto.ca/cycling/coroner_recomend.htm for the recommendations of this regional coroner's review.)

Since that time ARC's mandate has expanded to include: 1. Lobbying and education on issues of cyclists' rights 2. Legal defence, support and advice for survivors of car-bike collisions, and for cyclists unfairly charged with traffic offences. 3. Direct actions such as holding memorials for cyclists killed by motor vehicles.
