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.

Attendance

Signing up for the B-SIG means you have made a commitment to spend 10 consecutive Saturdays cycling with us this spring.

The rides are all-day affairs. You might get back early, but do not count on it. In other words, your Saturdays are spoken for when you join the B-SIG!

It all starts on Saturday, March 5th with our four-lap qualification ride in Central Park, followed by SIG orientation.

We start riding on Saturday, March 12th, with our first SIG ride to a New Jersey diner. We will end with our graduation ride through beautiful Harriman State Park to Cold Spring, on Saturday, May 7th.
