PEDAL MEMBERSHIP TERMS & CONDITIONS
IN CONSIDERATION of being permitted to participate in any way in PEDAL-sponsored Bicycling Activities ("Activities" or "Rides") I for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin
ACKNOWLEDGE, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of Bicycling Activities and that I am qualified to participate in such Activity. I further acknowledge that the Activity will be conducted over public roads and facilities open to the public during the Activity and upon which the hazards of traveling are to be expected, I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity
FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) bicycling activities involve risk and dangers of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability paralysis and death ('Risks"); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the "Releasees" named below, (c) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time, and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity
While PEDAL works to promote safe cycling, it can take no responsibility for the safety of any individual. Riding a bicycle on public roadways is as hazardous as driving an automobile on those same roadways. Off-road cycling holds its own unique hazards in addition to many of those present in cycling on public roadways. When PEDAL publishes a route for one of its bicycle Rides, it assumes no responsibility for your safety
PEDAL will not knowingly lead cyclists into unsafe conditions outside those a reasonable person would expect to encounter given the specified destination. PEDAL will do its best to advise cyclists of safe riding technique. PEDAL can not, however, guarantee safety, since we can't control your actions or the actions of others, including by not limited to motorists. Other hazards may exist, since PEDAL has imperfect knowledge of the condition of the roadway and PEDAL has no control concerning hazards which may exist
PEDAL Rides are social Rides and are not the same as some major organized rides. PEDAL Rides are not over closed roads. These Rides are over open roads with other vehicular traffic and involve the attendant risks of traffic. PEDAL Rides do not incur police escorts or any other special safety features. Riders must understand they are riding in traffic and each rider assumes the same risk as if he or she were riding alone along the same route
BY COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING THIS FORM, I AFFIRM THAT I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT OR ASSURANCE OF ANY NATURE AND INTEND TO TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW AND AGREE THAT, IF ANY PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENTIS HELD TO BE INVALID, THE BALANCE NOT WITHSTANDING SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
