So buying a bike in BC as a foreigner is easy, but one thing to keep in mind: insurance in BC is the most expensive in Canada and cost me a kidney although I have a clean claim history. A kidney, I mean it.
If I had to do it again, I'd look at buying the bike in Quebec. Prices in general are lower in Quebec but insurance is harder to get when you're a foreigner - from what I heard. Potential savings are probably worth the extra effort.

Hi Nico,
Can I ask how much the insurance cost you? Im thinking of doing similar and buying in Vancouver.
