WARNING! By signing this document you are giving up certain legal rights, including the right to sue in circumstances outlined below. It is important that you take the time to read this carefully before you sign.

By participating in the Peloton Ride 2019, I fully acknowledge and agree to the terms which are set out in the paragraphs that follow.

I Agree

This is a legal document.  I have reviewed it in its entirety and I have asked any questions about this document which I may have before signing it.  

Gears Bike and Ski Shops Limited, including its directors, officers, contractors, employees, affiliates or assigns (collectively referred to as “Gears”) is not responsible for any injury, personal injury, property damage, expense, loss of income, or any loss or damage of any kind that you may suffer in the process of operating, renting or test-riding the Bicycle, or caused in any manner by Gears, including without limiting the foregoing, by the negligence of Gears.

In consideration of the use of the Bicycle, I hereby acknowledge that I am aware of the risks, dangers and hazards associated with or related to the sport of cycling and that I may be exposed to such risks, dangers and hazards. The risks, dangers and hazards include, but are not limited to, injuries from: 

  1. The sport of cycling including: Road, Track, Mountain Bike, BMX and Cyclocross; 
  2. Executing strenuous and demanding physical techniques in cycling and/or exerting and stretching various muscle groups; 
  3. Vigorous physical exertion, rapid movements, quick turns and stops, and strenuous cardiovascular workouts; 
  4. Mounting, dismounting or falling off the Bicycle; 
  5. Falling, tumbling or hitting any ground, surface, concrete, road, track or other surfaces or objects while riding the Bicycle; 
  6. Physical contact with other cyclists, vehicles and/or pedestrians;
  7. Failure to properly use any equipment, the mechanical failure of any piece of equipment or inadequate safety equipment, improper maintenance or adjustment of equipment; 
  8. Contact, collisions or being struck by other participants, pedestrians, fixed objects, spectators, equipment or vehicles; 
  9. Road conditions, terrains and vehicular traffic while cycling; 
  10. Failure to stay within designated trails or adhere to designated routes or courses; 
  11. Extreme weather and temperature conditions which may result in dehydration, heatstroke, sunstroke or hypothermia; 
  12. Spinal cord injuries which may render me permanently paralyzed; 

I Agree

Furthermore, I am aware: 

  1. That injuries sustained in the course of cycling, including but not limited to the injuries described in paragraph 3, above, can be severe; 
  2. That I may experience anxiety while challenging myself while operating the Bicycle; 
  3. That my risk of injury is reduced if I follow all rules established for participation;
  4. That my risk of injury is also reduced if I use appropriate and well-maintained safety equipment including a helmet, gloves and eye protection;
  5. That e-bikes/pedal assist bikes may travel at a speed faster than I am used to while riding a non-pedal assist bike, and that I may consequently have to react faster than when using a non pedal-assist bike to maintain control of the Bicycle; and, 
  6. That my risk of injury increases as I become fatigued.

I Agree

In consideration of participating in the Peloton Ride, I agree: 

  1. That my physical condition has been verified by a medical doctor to participate in the sport of cycling;
  2. That I must follow all rules of the road and trail;
  3. That the the sole responsibility for my safety remains with me, including physical and emotional preparation and fitness; 
  4. To discontinue participation if I sense or observe any unusual hazard or unsafe condition; or feel unable or unfit to safely continue;
  5. To ASSUME all risks arising out of, associated with or related to the use and operation of the Bicycle;
  6. To WAIVE any and all claims that I may have now or in the future against Gears arising in any way from the use and operation of the Bicycle;
  7. To freely ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME all such risks and possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, expense and related loss, including loss of income, resulting from the use or operation of the Bicycle; and,
  8.  To FOREVER RELEASE Gears from any and all liability for any and all claims, demands, actions, damages (including direct, indirect, special and/or consequential), losses, actions, judgments, and costs (including legal fees) (collectively, the “Claims”) which I may have or may in the future, that might arise out of, result from, or relate to the use or operation of the Bicycle, even though such Claims may have been caused by any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to, the negligence, gross negligence, negligent rescue, omissions, carelessness, breach of contract and/or breach of any duty of care of Gears.
  9. I acknowledge that I have read this agreement and understand it, that I have signed  this agreement voluntarily, and that this agreement is to be binding upon myself, my heirs, spouse, children, parents, guardians, next of kin, executors, administrators and legal or personal representatives.
