AGREEMENT

I hereby assume the risks of the use of a bicycle, to include manual powered and e-assist electric bicycles, (“Bike Use”) provided by Gallatin Alpine Sports, LLC (“Owner”), and all risks that may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the Owner, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained, or controlled by the Owner, or because of their possible liability without fault.

I certify that there are no health-related reasons or problems which preclude my participation in Bike Use. I acknowledge that I have been advised to wear an approved helmet while cycling. I am aware that the use of a bicycle is subject to any applicable municipal and state regulations. I am familiar with the proper use of the bicycle, including all quick release mechanisms, brakes and gear shifters. I am aware that cycling activities involve many risks and dangers including, but not limited to: changing weather conditions; mechanical failure of the equipment; loss of balance; difficulty or inability to control 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 wildlife, pedestrians, vehicles or other cyclists; becoming lost; failure to cycle safely or within one’s own ability; and negligence on the part of Owner or its staff including the failure on the part of Owner or its staff to safeguard or protect me from the risks and dangers of Bike Use. I will not attempt repairs or removal of bike parts.

I am aware of the risks and dangers associated with cycling activities and I fully assume such risks and dangers and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage and loss resulting therefrom. I understand that the agreed upon price of the Bike Rental (i.e. daily, overnight, multiday, etc… rental) does not include a damage waiver, and that I am responsible for any and all “non-acceptable damage” that may occur to the Bike during the agreed upon rental period. Said “non-acceptable damage” shall include but is not limited to: bent, broken, or cracked frames; bent, broken, or cracked wheels; broken or damaged components (to include: shifters, pedals, cranks, derailleurs, cassettes, chain rings, brake levers, shocks, forks, handle bars, saddles, dropper posts and levers, cable housings, or any other attached Bike components not specifically listed herein), and/or any and all damage exceeding normal Bike wear and tear as determined by a professional Gallatin Alpine Sports Bike technician. 

I understand that damage may be discovered after the Bike has been returned to Gallatin Alpine Sports and is no longer in my possession, and that I remain liable for said damage to the BIke.  

I hereby permit Gallatin Alpine Sports to hold my credit or debit card information on file in order to cover the costs associated with any and all damage and/or repairs to the bike I may incur during my rental period.
