Conditions of Registration and Participation
Most of these conditions are designed for your safety and the safety of other riders. Please read them carefully to avoid problems later.
1. All riders must complete the registration form.
2. The ride is designed entirely for bicycles (i.e. non–powered
cycles).
3. Riders under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
4. While the organisers, managers and promoters of the
ride will do all in their power to make the ride safe all riders
take part at their own risk. All riders must ensure that their
bicycles are in a roadworthy condition, must observe the rules
of the Highway Code and follow the instructions from officials
and marshals and the GArdai. NB: Neither Dublin City Council,
Concern, Alchemy Event Management, the organisers, managers
or any sponsors or promoters of the ride accept responsibility
for any injury sustained or property damaged in the course of
the Ride in the absence or negligence or breach of statutory
duty on their parts.
5. Dublin City Council, the organisers, managers, sponsors
and promoters of the ride cannot be held liable for injury,
loss or damage caused or sustained as a result of taking part,
howsoever arising nor can they accept any liability for any
changes made to the ride for safety reasons or as otherwise
planned through circumstances beyond their control.
While we go to great lengths to ensure that the ride is organised
to enable participants to be as safe as possible at all times
we must make it clear that all participants in the ride take
part entirely at their own risk. You are therefore advised to
comply with our safety guidelines.

6. Cycling can be strenuous and riders must be in good
health. Riders who have any doubt about their health or have a
medical condition that could be affected by exercise, particularly
a heart condition must obtain their doctor’s approval before
participating.
7. All riders must be reasonably fit. If you are not regular
cyclist we recommend that you go for a bike ride two or three
times a week for several weeks in advance of the ride, gradually
increasing the distance you cycle.
8. All riders are advised to wear a cycle helmet. Riders
should also carry suitable means of identification clearly showing
their name and the contact number of a relative or friend who
should be contacted in emergency.
9. Dublin City Council and the sponsors of the ride may
take photographs of the ride and riders for publicity purposes.
By registering to participate in the ride either on your own behalf
or upon behalf of any rider under the age of 18 you agree that
photographic images of or containing you or those under 18s upon
whose behalf you have registered may be used by Dublin City Council
and the sponsors for publicity purposes.
10. If and when you participate in the Dublin City Cycle,
only official bike parking spaces should be used. Dublin City
Council, the organisers, managers, sponsors or promoters of the
ride accept responsibility for any loss or damage when using such
parking spaces and the organisers and managers of the ride reserve
the right to remove bikes chained to unofficial bike parking areas.
