Cycling can be an enjoyable and exciting activity. However, like many recreational activities that require physical exertion, cycling carries with it the risk of physical injury. The risks associated with cycling include the risk that:

• you may be involved in a collision with people, animals, objects and/or vehicles;
• you may lose your balance;
• you may suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;
• you may suffer from physical exertion;
• you may become separated from the cycling group; and
• you may fall from your bicycle.

These risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss. There are other risks to which you may be exposed. You should ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment, including a helmet.

By participating in the cycling activities provided by the organising Bicycle NSW Affiliated Bicycle User Group, you agree:

• to obey all Australian and NSW road rules;
• that your bicycle and equipment is in good mechanical order.

• to take full and sole responsibility for any person under the age of 18 years who accompanies you in these cycling activities;
• that you participate at your own risk; that the agreement for services provided to you by the organising Bicycle User Group does not include any implied or express warranty that the services of the organising Bicycle User Group will be rendered with due care and skill or that any materials provided by the organising Bicycle User Group in connection with the cycling activities will be fit for the purpose for which they are supplied;

Please contact the Ride Leader in advance to discuss the suitability of a ride for your children.
