Typical hazards & measures
Insect bites/stings
— Advise participants to wear insect repellent and long sleeves or pants if appropriate. Carry first aid supplies for treating bites and stings. Identify any participants with known allergies to insects and ensure they have necessary medication, such as antihistamines or an EpiPen.
Narrow paths
— Instruct riders to single file on narrow paths and reduce speed. Implement guidelines for overtaking safely, ensuring there’s enough room and visibility before passing. Communicate upcoming narrow sections to the group in advance.
Loose clothing
— Instruct participants to wear fitted, weather-appropriate cycling gear and ensure no loose items (scarves, untied shoelaces) that could get caught in bike chains or wheels. Emphasize the importance of securing clothing during a pre-ride briefing.
Traffic accidents
— Plan routes that avoid or minimize high-traffic areas. Instruct riders on road safety, such as signaling, riding in a straight line, and maintaining a safe distance from vehicles. Use reflective clothing and ensure all bikes have proper lighting for visibility.
Getting lost
— Use well-marked trails and provide participants with maps or GPS devices. Brief riders on the route before departure and establish checkpoints along the way. Assign group leaders who are familiar with the area to prevent straying off course.
