All guests of Rad Rides must have a EHIC card (old E111) and/or appropriate specialist travel insurance to cover them for mountain biking, helicopter rescue and repatriation costs. The details of your insurance must be available in case of an emergency on the trails.You should also be covered for cancellations and other activities they wish to partake in whilst on holiday with Rad Rides. You will be required to provide your insurance details to Rad Rides prior to riding.

SHUTTLE VEHICLES AND BIKE TRAILERS
Guests use the Rad Rides shuttle vehicles and bike trailers entirely at their own risk. Guests are responsible for the safe transit of their own bikes and must ensure that their bikes are put on the trailers securely. Rad Rides cannot be held responsible for any damage to client’s bikes during the holiday with us.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Unlikely events such as vehicle breakdown, bad traffic, accidents, adverse weather or other unexpected events can delay our shuttle service to the airport. That’s why Rad Rides cannot guarantee arrival at the airport at the pre-arranged time. Also Rad Rides cannot be held responsible for any missed flights under any circumstances nor will Rad Rides cover any consequential costs that can occur due to missed flights and a delayed departure.

SAFETY AND RIDER RESPONSIBILITY
Mountain biking is a dangerous sport and comes with certain risks. Due to the challenging nature of the trails and the amount of riding our clients will do during holiday with us, the likelihood of having an accident whilst riding is high. Rad Rids staff will take every precaution to ensure the safety of riders, however Rad Rids cannot be held responsible for any accidents, injuries or the very unlikely worst case of the death of riders whilst guided riding with us. Before any riding with Rad Rides, our clients have to sign a declaration that they have understood and accepted all associated risk of their riding during their holiday with us.
Wearing respective safety equipment can reduce the extend of injuries. An appropriate mountain bike helmet back protection or a back pack with spine protection and minimum safety protective gear is absolutely essential for a mountain biker. Rad Rides staff reserves the right to refuse to accompany any rider who is not wearing a helmet back protection and knee pads. For the more aggressive downhill riding it is strongly recommended to use a full-face or detachable chin guard helmet for added protection in the event of a heavy fall onto the face. Also suitable biking gloves are advised be worn at any time whilst riding with Rad Rides staff. As protective pads (forearm-elbow and knee-shin pads) are proven to reduce the potential severity of external wounds and can reduce the likelihood of broken bones in the event of an accident, we strongly recommend to wear appropriate pads during riding.
Rad Rides cannot guarantee the safety of each trail from one day to the next. Natural hazards like fallen trees, uneven surfaces or flooding can exist without warning, and Rad Rides cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury caused by such hazards.

ACCIDENTS AND FIRST AID
All Rad Rides staff is equipped with a basic first aid kit and respective local emergency contact details for the event of an accident. In case of an accident our staff will act to their best knowledge and experience, however they are not trained medical professionals. In case you don’t want to be treated at all by Rad Rides staff, and wait for trained professionals to arrive at the scene in the case of an accident, please advise us accordingly before your first ride (as you may be unconscious in the event of the severe fall). In addition you have to inform us about any known existing allergies to medical treatments at the time of booking.

BIKE HIRE
Hirers are responsible for all damage to or loss of the bike during the period of hire up to the replacement cost of the bike if stolen.
General wear and tear such as brake pads, tyres, cables etc.. is included within the hire cost.
Payments for bike hire are normally made in advance of the holiday. If payment is to be made on arrival a deposit (credit card number and signature of authorisation) or a passport and advance cash payment for the full bike rental will be required.
rad Rides will take care to ensure that the bike is in full working order however components can malfunction.
Hirers are responsible for their own safety whilst riding any bike hired to them by Rad Rides
