Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate supervision

Group separation
— Establish clear ride guidelines, including designated regroup points and a system of communication (such as hand signals or radios). Assign group leaders to the front and rear of the cycling group to ensure nobody falls behind.
Safeguarding
— Implement a safeguarding policy for group rides and events. Ensure background checks for ride leaders and coaches. Provide clear reporting procedures for concerns. Educate participants on appropriate behavior and boundaries.
Wildlife
