A Word of Caution for Organizers of Group Bike Rides

As you know, I am an avid cyclist. What you may not know is that you may be taking legal responsibility when you organize a group ride.

This Bicycling blog post provides some good pointers on when you cross the line from a simple ride with friends to official group ride organizer. If what you're doing puts you into the "organizer" category, you could be putting yourself at risk for liability should something go wrong during the ride.

The bottom line: Make sure you understand the difference between a casual ride and an organized ride - and that you take steps to protect your assets.
