About The Program
What is the Expert Riders Academy?
React, Don't Panic
The “Expert Riders Academy (ERA)” is a NEW initiative powered By My Insurance Broker. Our goal is to improve your riding skills and expand your comfort zone. We want to eliminate “panic” in your riding vocabulary and replace it with “react”!
The long-term goal of building a better rider will benefit all motorcyclists. we strive to create a supportive and safer environment for riders across the province.
What is ERA?
