New York Cycle Club and the B-SIGs are committed to making our group rides as safe as possible. The B-SIG will emphasize safe cycling habits. We urge you to review Bicycle Safe, an informative website for cyclists.

Our sport does have risks. Each B-SIG participant must sign in before each ride. The sign-in sheets have a waiver, which is a legal agreement between each cyclist and NYCC. Please read and understand that by signing this waiver you have agreed to the waiver‘s terms.
