SUBSCRIBER’S REPRESENTATIONS

I am a competent bicycle operator, and am sufficiently physically fit to safely operate a bicycle. I have received any necessary medical clearances for such physical activity. Green Bike is not responsible for injury, damage or liability resulting from my misrepresentation of competence or physical fitness to safely operate a bicycle.

I understand and agree to the following:

  • Riding a bicycle involves risks, dangers and hazards. These risks, dangers, and hazards may result in injury or death to myself or others, as well as damage to property. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided and which are the sole responsibility of the rider. If my use of a Green Bike bicycle causes injury or damage to another person or property, I may be liable for such injury or damage and associated expenses. By choosing to ride a bicycle, I assume all responsibility for the risks, hazards, and dangers that it involves.
  • Riding a bicycle is a physical activity. Like any physical activity, riding a bicycle may cause minor or major injuries or discomfort, and may worsen or complicate underlying medical conditions or diseases. By choosing to ride a Green Bike bicycle, I assume all responsibility for all such injuries or other medical conditions.
  • State and local laws require me to obey the rules of the road while riding a bicycle. There are state and local laws applying specifically to bicycle riders. I will follow all applicable state and local laws.
  • Bicycles are machines that may malfunction, and such malfunctions may cause injury. Malfunctions may occur unexpectedly even if a bicycle is maintained properly. Before riding a Green Bike bicycle, I will conduct a safety inspection of the bicycle which includes inspection and checking for the following: proper tire pressure, trueness of the wheels, safe operation of the brakes and lights, and any signs of damage, excessive wear, or other mechanical problems or maintenance needs. I will not ride the bicycle if I notice any mechanical problem or other safety issue; I will notify Green Bike of the problem and use a different bicycle.
  • Wearing a Snell, CPSC, ANSI, or ASTM approved helmet, properly fitted and fastened, while cycling may protect against some injury, or lessen the severity of an injury, caused by impact to the head. Bicycle helmets are not 100% effective, will not protect against all head injuries and do not protect against other injuries. Although Aruba state law does not require bicycle riders to wear helmets, Green Bike recommends that all riders wear a Snell, CPSC, ANSI, or ASTM approved helmet which has been properly sized and fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Green Bike is not responsible for any injury or damage resulting from (a) any of the risks, hazards and dangers described above, (b) my failure to comply with my agreements herein or (c) my failure to wear a bicycle helmet while riding a Green Bike bicycle.
  • I must report all accidents and injuries involving a Green Bike bicycle to competent authorities and to Customer Service at customerservice@greenbikearuba.com as soon as possible.

I understand that:

  • Green Bike may make bicycles unavailable for rental in some conditions. The fact that a bicycle is available for rental does not mean that it is safe to ride the bicycle in prevailing weather or traffic conditions.
  • Green Bike may require me to return a bicycle at any time.

Alternative means of public and private transportation are available to the general public and to me individually, including: public buses and light rail service, taxis, and pedestrian paths.
