Youth Rider Information
We are very excited to have had so many great youth participants in the Habitat 500 Bike Ride. We strongly encourage youth participation in the event, but in order to ensure the safety and security of our youth riders, we have some guidelines for youth participation.
Youth Rider Guidelines
All riders between the ages of 13 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. For youth groups participating and riding together, one adult must ride with each group of five youth cyclists. Cyclists between the ages of 13 and 15 must be accompanied by a parent at all times and may participate only if they are judged to have a proven record of long distance biking experience.
Each youth cyclist must carry with him/her at all times a signed medical release form which gives the accompanying adult permission to authorize medical treatment for the youth. Emergency medical treatment for an injured youth cyclist may be delayed if the medical release form is not available.
