Important Notice
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;
and these risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss to yourself and others.
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 EuroBUG and the ride leaders and organisers, you agree:
· to obey all Australia and NSW road rules
· that your bicycle and equipment is in good mechanical order
· to comply with all directions given to you by the ride leaders and organisers
· to take full and sole responsibility for any person under the age of 18 years who accompanies you on these cycling activities
· that you participate at your own risk
· to be responsible for assessing that your skill level and health and fitness is suitable for you participate in the ride
· that the agreement for services provided to you by EuroBUG and the ride leaders and organisers does not include any implied or express warranty that these services will be rendered with due care and skill or that any materials provided by EuroBUG and the ride leaders and organisers in connection with the cycling activities will be fit for the purpose for which they are supplied;

You are advised that a negligent cyclist could be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or third party (ie. a woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law.
Hence, cycling without Public Liability cover is not recommended. Join Bicycle NSW http://www.bicyclensw.org.au or a similar organisation, for Public Liability insurance, or extend your household insurance cover to provide you Public Liability cover beyond your front fence, so that all riders are better protected. Some house contents policies automatically include this type of cover.
