CYCLONE CYCLING CLUB
Terms and Conditions & Waiver of Liability

1. Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Risk

By joining, participating in, or attending any ride, event, or activity organized by or associated with the Cyclone Cycling Club ("the Club"), the participant ("the Rider") acknowledges that cycling is an active sport that carries inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, property damage, severe bodily injury, or death. The Rider voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participating in Club activities.

2. Personal Responsibility and Safety

The Rider acknowledges and agrees that their safety is entirely their own responsibility. The Rider is solely responsible for:

  • Ensuring they are in adequate physical condition to participate.
  • Maintaining their bicycle and equipment in a safe, roadworthy condition.
  • Wearing appropriate safety gear, including a properly fitted and fastened helmet, at all times during Club rides.
  • Navigating road hazards, traffic, and weather conditions safely.

3. Release and Waiver of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Cyclone Cycling Club, its founders, officers, ride leaders, members, and volunteers shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. The Club expressly disclaims any and all liability for:

  • Any bodily injury, harm, sickness, or death sustained by the Rider during or after a Club event.
  • Any loss, damage, or theft of the Rider’s bicycle, equipment, or personal property.

4. Compliance with Laws and Illegal Actions

The Rider agrees to strictly adhere to all traffic laws, regulations, and ordinances of Hong Kong while participating in Club activities. The Club does not condone, support, or take any responsibility for illegal actions committed by the Rider. If the Rider violates any laws, they do so entirely at their own risk and assume full legal and financial responsibility for any fines, penalties, or legal consequences that arise.

5. Scope of Club Involvement (Assistance Only)

The Club operates solely to organize group rides and foster a community of cyclists. While ride leaders or other members may offer basic assistance (such as route guidance or minor mechanical help) during an event, this assistance is provided as a courtesy. The Club does not provide professional medical care, professional mechanical services, or guaranteed safety escorts. Accepting any assistance from the Club or its members does not transfer liability to the Club.

6. Declaration

By participating in Cyclone Cycling Club events, I confirm that I have read, understood, and agreed to this document. I recognize that I am waiving certain legal rights, including the right to sue the Club or its representatives for any incidents, injuries, or legal infractions arising from my participation.
