Assumption of Risk, Participant Responsibilities, and Supervision Requirements for Minors

As a condition of participating in Los Angeles Critical Mass (LACM), all participants release and waive any right to bring claims against the organizers, their employees, officers, volunteers, and agents for any physical injury, illness (including death), or economic loss arising from participation in LACM, including claims based on negligence.

By joining an LACM event, each participant acknowledges the inherent risks involved in large group rides and public gatherings. These risks may include physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability, death, or economic loss. Such risks may result from the actions or negligence of participants or others, or from the condition of streets, facilities, or locations used during the event. Participants voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with their involvement in Los Angeles Critical Mass.

Participation of Minors

All participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied and directly supervised by a parent, legal guardian, or designated adult guardian at all times during Los Angeles Critical Mass (LACM).

Minors may not ride by themselves under any circumstances. The supervising adult must remain right next to the minor at all times—close enough to monitor their behavior, maintain safe positioning, and intervene immediately if needed.

The supervising adult is solely responsible for the minor’s safety, conduct, equipment, and placement within the ride.
Unaccompanied minors are not permitted to participate. No exceptions.

Acknowledgment of Responsibility

By participating in LACM, you voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with the ride and agree to follow all safety expectations and community guidelines.
