Breeze Bike Rides Terms & Conditions

Terms and conditions – British Cycling Women’s National Cycling Network

Conditions of registration and participation in the above events:

Most of these conditions are designed for your safety and the safety of other riders. Please read them carefully to avoid problems later.

General

1. All bike rides and other activities organised through the National Women’s Cycling network are aimed at adult women aged 16 and over. Cycling can be strenuous and therefore riders must be in good health. Riders who have any doubt about their health or have a medical condition that could be affected by exercise, particularly a heart condition, should consult their doctor before participating.

2. The minimum age for participants is 16. Children aged 15 and under may be welcome on some rides but this is entirely at the discretion of the local Champion. If riders aged 15 and under do attend they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian aged 18 or over and are entirely the responsibility of that adult. If a child aged 15 or under does attend with another adult (aged 18 or over) that is not their parent/guardian the person making the registration must have the prior consent of their legal parent/guardian.

3. All Women’s National Cycling Network rides are designed entirely for bicycles (i.e. non–powered cycles). The organisers’ decision shall be final as to whether a bicycle is of an appropriate type or condition to participate on rides.

4. To comply with British Cycling’s rules and regulations, helmets are compulsory for U18s and recommended but not compulsory for adults over 18.

5. While the organisers, managers and promoters of the ride will do all in their reasonable control to make the ride as safe as possible, all riders take part at their own risk.

6. All riders must ensure that their bicycles are in a roadworthy condition, must observe the rules of the Highway Code and follow the instructions of any officials, marshals and the Police.

7. None of the organisers, managers or any sponsors or promoters of the ride accept liability for any loss or damaged caused where:

(a) there is breach of a contractual obligation or legal duty of care owed to you;

(b) such loss or damage is not reasonably foreseeable at the time of breach

(c) an injury is sustained or property damaged in the course of the ride or as a result of taking part in the ride; or

(d) any changes are made to the route or conduct of the ride for safety or operational reasons or as otherwise required for the safe and proper carrying out of the event;

except for death or personal injury caused by their negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other matter for which it would be illegal or unlawful for them to exclude or attempt to exclude their liability.

8. The organisers, managers or any sponsors or promoters of the ride may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for promotional and publicity purposes. By registering to participate in the ride either on your own behalf or upon behalf of any other rider including those under the age of 16 years, you agree that photographic or video images of you, containing you, or of those under the age of 16 years upon whose behalf you have registered, may be used by the organisers, managers or any sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes.

9. The organisers may cancel any rides or other organised events and activities at their discretion. They will endeavour to give as much notice as possible of any cancellations. The organisers accept no liability for any costs incurred as a result of the cancellation.
