Group Ride & Events Waiver
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
By signing below, I, the undersigned participant, acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in this Release of Liability Waiver. I understand that by participating in events or group rides organized by Winnebago Bicycle (the "Organizer"), I am voluntarily assuming all risks associated with the activity and releasing the Organizer from any liability. I recognize that participating in cycling activities, including group rides and events, carries inherent risks, including, but not limited to, accidents, falls, collisions with other riders or vehicles, physical exertion, and exposure to unpredictable weather conditions. I understand that injuries, property damage, or even death can occur, and I willingly accept responsibility for any consequences resulting from my participation.
In consideration of being allowed to participate, I hereby release, waive, and hold harmless the Organizer, its employees, agents, volunteers, sponsors, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising from or related to my participation in these activities. This release includes claims related to personal injury, death, property damage, or theft, whether caused by the negligence of the Organizer or otherwise. I agree not to initiate any legal action or claim for compensation against the Organizer based on the aforementioned risks. I also agree to indemnify and hold the Organizer harmless from any and all claims, damages, or losses resulting from my actions or inactions while participating in the activities, including but not limited to any claim arising out of my own negligence or failure to follow instructions provided by the Organizer, its staff, or ride leaders.
I confirm that I am in good health and have no medical condition that would prevent me from safely participating in the activities. I understand it is my responsibility to consult with a physician if I have concerns about my ability to engage in physical activities such as cycling. Furthermore, I acknowledge that wearing a properly fitted, approved helmet is mandatory during all group rides and events organized by the Organizer. I agree to wear my helmet at all times while participating in the activities. It is my responsibility to ensure that my bicycle and any related equipment (including but not limited to brakes, tires, and lights) are in good working condition before I participate. If, at any point, I believe my equipment is unsafe or malfunctioning, I will immediately inform the Organizer or ride leaders. I agree to abide by all applicable traffic laws, rules, and safety guidelines provided by the Organizer. I understand that failure to comply with these guidelines may result in being excluded from the ride or event.
I understand and agree that the Organizer may take photographs or videos during the activities, which may include my image or likeness. I grant permission for the Organizer to use such media for promotional purposes, marketing, or social media, without compensation to me. In the event of inclement weather, unsafe conditions, or other factors beyond the Organizer's control, I understand that the Organizer may cancel or postpone the event or ride. I accept that I will not be entitled to any refund in such cases, except where required by law.
I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand this Release of Liability Waiver. I am signing this waiver voluntarily and understand that by doing so, I am giving up certain legal rights, including the right to sue the Organizer for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur as a result of my participation in the activities.
If I am under the age of 18, I understand that this waiver must be signed by a parent or legal guardian, and I hereby consent to my child’s participation in the event or group ride under these terms.
