I'm a Non-Rider

Dedicated to the race fan, a spectators ONLY trip

Custom itinerary for spectators, experience the greatest cycling races in the world, up close
Primary focus is seeing the race, but we incorporate small side itineraries for you to experience food and culture in picturesque villages and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
During the trip we also create the opportunity to share your experience with some of our cycling guests, by way of meeting up at viewing areas during the trip

There may be some walking involved for all guests. We make every effort to get you close to the starts, finishes, climbs and feed-zones. However, the immediate vicinity is difficult to access with road closures. Please have comfortable shoes and you need to have a very basic level of fitness.

Acknowledgement Waiver and Release

I agree to comply with all road rules and regulations, and all lawful instructions and directions of Bikestyle Tours Pty Ltd, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and volunteers (collectively the Organiser) during the Bikestyle organised tours (the Event). If I fail to comply with the road rules and regulations, and instructions and/or directions of the Organiser, I will not be permitted to ride or continue to ride.

I acknowledge that cycling can be an inherently dangerous activity. I recognise that there are risks and hazards specifically associated with this activity, including the possibility or injury and death and loss and damage both to myself and my possessions. I therefore release the Organiser of any liability resulting from injury, death, loss or damage during the Event.

I understand and acknowledge the dangers associated with the consumption of alcohol or any mind-altering substance before or during any cycling activity. I accept full responsibility for injury, loss or damage arising from consumption of alcohol or any mind-altering substance.

If I suffer any injury or illness, I agree that the Organiser may provide evacuation, first aid and/or medical treatment at my expense and my acceptance of these terms and conditions constitutes my consent to such evacuation, first aid and/or medical treatment.

I acknowledge that I have sole responsibility for my personal possessions and sporting equipment during the Event. I acknowledge that if the Organiser performs any repairs or work on my bicycle or other equipment the Organiser does not warrant that work nor offer any guarantee of any kind in respect of that work.

For myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns, I hereby:

(a) waive and release all claims I may have against the Organiser or any one or more of their executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns including any or all claims for injury, loss or damages caused by negligence of any of the above arising out of my participation in the Event, together with any costs including legal fees that may be incurred as a result of such claim whether valid or not; and

(b) indemnify and hold harmless the releasees and each of them against any such claim that I or any one or more of my executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors and assigns may have or assert and against any costs including legal fees with respect thereof

(c) acknowledge that if I were to assert a claim such claim would be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the laws of Queensland, Australia.

I acknowledge that I have read this assumption of risk. I fully understand its terms and that I have given up substantial rights by agreeing to it. I accept this document freely and voluntarily without any inducement made to me and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.

Any damage to and the costs associated with repairing the Rental Bike fair wear and tear excepted (including but not limited to all labour, replacement parts, repainting and any other work necessary to restore the Rental Bike to as new condition) during the Rental Period, whether or not caused by the Client, to the maximum of the market value of the Rental Bike as reasonably determined by Bikestyle;

In the event of theft, the Rental Bike being un-repairable, or the anticipated costs associated with repair exceeding the market value (as reasonably determined by Bikestyle), the market value of the Rental Bike as reasonably determined by Bikestyle.

The Indemnity will not apply where:

The Rental Bike has been stored in accordance with instructions provided to Clients by Bikestyle, whether that be at overnight accommodation, in bike trailers provided by Bikestyle.

Waiver

Clients acknowledge and agree that Bikestyle maintains no control over the operation of the Rental Bikes by Clients. Bikestyle assumes no responsibility for and cannot be held liable for any personal injury, property damage, third party liability or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience, or irregularity which may be occasioned either by reason of;

any wrongful or negligent acts or omissions on the part of any other party not under the control, direct or otherwise, of Bikestyle.

Clients hereby release Bikestyle and its agents and employees from and against any and all liability arising during the rental period. Clients acknowledge that they are aware of the risks involved with cycling including but not limited to physical exertion, forces of nature, accidents, travel via any mode of transport, adequacy of medical facilities, or negligence (other than willful or fraudulent) on the part of employees, agents or others of Bikestyle.

Clients agree to be responsible for their own welfare and accept any and all risk associated with the activities they undertake.
