I'm pretty sure you need a headlight/taillight on crown land. All you need to do is get a battery powered mtn bike light for the front and back at Mountain Equipment Co-op or something. It doesn't have to be good enough to ride at night, they just have to be visible from 60m away. You can even have it in your pack or pocket, as long as you have it with you. This is what a CO at McLean told me. I keep a photocopy of my ins and registration in a ziplock bag in my pocket with some asswipe. I leave the real copies in the truck.
I'm with Doc.....been stopped lots and never questioned on anything other than insurance and reg....none of the bikes have headlights and it's never posed a problem.
i dont get it, if the bikes arnt sold with head/tail lights, why do we/you have to install them. Why cant it be like where you have an old car but restored with out seat belts (cause thats how it was when it was made) and still not required to have the seat belts instaled in them?

Yeah I have insurance and all but no headlight on our CR250 and CRF 450 so will have to look at the mountain bike lights. Thanks
Legally all you need is insurance, registration and a plate. We go all the time and have had no issues with the "fellas". Our bikes have no lights so obviously daytime riding only! :d
Usually sittin by the campfire after dark anyways .... although with all the fire bans so far we'll have to see.
sounds like a little anoying for you guys in alberta? nothing gets enforced in b.c. but im not even sure of the regulations here if any? my sleds and bike arent registered never have been i know that recently the c.o.s have been cracking down on unregistered sleds but never had a issue with bikes. hope it doesent happen here as well. some of my friends have liablity insurance just in case they do get in a accident of some kind at least they will have coverage.
riding season is gona be here soon
