CYCLING REGULATIONS
The following regulations have been issued for each rider to abide by
1) All children must be accompanied by parents and guardians and must obey the rules that will be announced to them before the start of the bike ride, by the organisers
2) Participating cyclists should have already taken care that their bicycles are functioning perfectly (inflated tires, brakes, etc.).
3) The Carnival Cycling is a ride with our bikes and NOT a race, that’s why we don’t ride aggressively, we don’t overtake and we show our teamwork and noble rivalry.
4) No cyclist overtakes the leading cyclist and no one stays behind the trailing cyclist
5) If, for any reason, we feel tired or face a technical problem with our bike, we immediately stop on the right side of the road and wait for the last cyclist/broomer.
6) cyclists participate at their own risk
7) Each cyclist should bring their own drinking water.
8) Finally, the success of the Cycling event depends on US, as long as we act as a group of cyclists, who want to have a good time obeying the safety rules at all times!
SAFETY HELMETS ARE MANDATORY AND MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES!
