I'm surprised it hasn't been raised before within our triathlon club but I was curious what policies other local tri clubs have around liability. With the rise in vehicular incidents with cyclists, a couple of our club members asked if they are at risk for being sued if a crash happens during the bike ride and results in serious injury. A few scenarios that were raised were:
1) Can a ride leader be sued if another cyclist within the group causes an accident?
2) Can the ride leader/club be sued for hosting the ride that led to injury via crash/accident?
Broadly, I'm hoping that since the meet-up is "at-will" by the participants, there's nothing to worry about.
