- be involved in a collision with people, animals, objects and/or vehicles;
- lose your balance;
- suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;
- suffer from physical exertion;
- become separated from the cycling group; and
- 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 in these cycling activities;

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 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.
