Warning and Your Assumption of Risk:
With regard to all rides, Tamalpais Velo Club (Tam Velo Club) is not responsible for anything that happens. Tam Velo does not sponsor, run, plan, lead, or direct any rides. Tam Velo Club does not recommend that you participate in any ride and advises great caution and personal consideration before assuming the risks of riding your bike, whether alone or in a group.
Cycling is a sport undertaken for enjoyment and thrill, requiring physical exertion, elements of skill, and involving a challenge that contains inherent risks. These risks can include serious injury or death, whether riding alone or with others. Road conditions, other cyclists, motor vehicles, wind, water, road debris (such as rocks, oil, leaves, sticks, glass, and metal pieces), mechanical and tire failures, falling or windborne objects, and poor lighting are just a few examples of the risks involved that can lead to crashes or other injuries.
Safety equipment such as helmets, lights, and appropriate clothing may reduce some risks to a degree but do not eliminate the inherent dangers of the sport. Riding in a group, while a fundamental aspect of cycling, can also increase certain risks due to reduced sightlines, increased speeds, aggressive riding, and potential collisions with other riders.
Additionally, bicycling may lead to acute or chronic health conditions, including death. It is recommended that you consult your physician for guidance, and you may also find the National Institutes of Health Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans helpful.
Your participation in the recreational sport of cycling, including group rides, is a voluntary assumption of all the aforementioned risks.
