1 Liability and Personal Responsibility: I agree the activity of cycling with the riders on public roads & trails can cause damage to equipment serious injury or even death. I agree not to hold Ridenfaden club organizers or riders responsible in the event of any damage or injury.
2 Rider Conduct: We require riders on any Ridenfaden event to be courteous to other riders and motorists during our activity. When you wear our jersey or ride with our group you are representing us and what we stand for: An inclusive Louisville cycling community
3 Group Riding: All riders in a group ride must call out turns bumps potholes glass/debris either verbally or visually for riders behind them. Call out “Car up” while approaching parked or moving vehicles. Call out “Car back” when a vehicle is about to pass the group. When riding in a paceline riders must follow the leader’s moves pulling through gently not crossing wheels of rider ahead looking ahead and avoiding false moves. Try not to get distracted and be easy on the brakes. If tired sit back and allow riders to work together. If you notice a rider having difficulty (off the back, mechanical, crash, etc.) call this out immediately so we may assist regroup or call for help. If the group needs to stay together or split up into 2 groups then this should be settled before continuing.

8 Respect Everyone‚s Privacy: Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic expressive discussions make groups great but may also be sensitive and private. What‚s shared in the group should stay in the group.
