Proper helmet use is strongly encouraged and is mandatory for those under 18. Parents have a duty to ensure helmet use for children under 16. Riders might be photographed for promotional purposes. Complimentary refreshment is provided to participants at the end or mid-point of the ride (depending on ride). Routes carefully planned and may be subject to change should situations arise. Pay attention to the Ride Leader, Marshal and Sweep. All riders must be present for the Brampton Community Rides Safety Briefing and must register and agree to the waiver before the ride.
