ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - SAFETY
I acknowledge that I have been advised to wear an approved helmet while cycling. I am aware that the use of the bicycle is
subject to any applicable municipal and provincial highway traffic regulations. I am familiar with the proper use of the bicycle,
including all quick release mechanisms, brakes and gear shifters. I am aware that there are technicians, guides or instructors
available to answer any questions that I may have as to the proper use of the bicycle.
ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I am aware that cycling activities involve many risks, dangers and hazards including, but not limited to: changing weather
conditions; mechanical failure of the equipment; loss of balance; difficulty or inability to control one's speed and direction; variation
or steepness in terrain; rapid or uncontrolled acceleration on hills and inclines; variation or changes in the cycling surface including
holes or depressions in the roads; exposed rock, snow, ice, earth and other natural objects; streams, creeks and rivers; cliffs and
crevasses; collision with exposed rock, snow, ice, earth, trees or other natural or man-made objects on or adjacent to the cycling
terrain; encounters with wildlife, collision with pedestrians, vehicles or other cyclists; becoming lost or separated from other
participants; failure to cycle safely or within one's own ability or within designated areas; negligence of other participants; and
negligence on the part of Fairmount Bicycles or their staff including failure to safeguard or protect me from the risks, dangers, and
hazards of adventure activities. I am also aware that the risks, dangers and hazards referred to above exist throughout the area
used for cycling and that many are unmarked.
I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH CYCLING ACTIVITIES AND I FREELY ACCEPT
AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.
