Information and conditions of participation

The bike school Asymmetrix organizes guided mountain bike tours and courses. A mountain bike can be with or without an electric drive (e-bike). For the sake of simplicity, the term “bike" used. The term "trip“ is used for all events of the bike school Asymmetrix. The leader and trainer of all events is Dominik Langrehr or authorized representatives, hereinafter referred to as "Guide“ be designated. participants of a tour are customers of the bike school Asymmetrix and have booked a tour or a course.

A technically flawless bike is also a prerequisite for participation. Sufficient breakdown equipment for tours (including a replacement tube, air pump, tools, etc.) is recommended.

All participants must ensure that they have sufficient protective and safety equipment. The participants are obliged (also uphill) to wear a helmet that complies with the current and relevant safety regulations. The equipment also includes clothing appropriate to the weather conditions and, if necessary, protective equipment such as gloves and protectors.

The tour participant is responsible for complying with, obtaining and carrying the officially required travel documents such as passport, visa, customs, foreign exchange and health regulations (vaccinations). The bike school Asymmetrix informs the travelers to the best of their knowledge and belief as far as possible about the regulations applicable to German citizens. The responsible consulate will provide information for participants or nationals of other countries.

All participants are aware that using a mountain bike, both on and off paved roads, places special physical demands and is associated with specific risks. Participation in a tour is always at your own risk and peril. Tours lead both on public roads and paths, as well as on paved and unpaved paths, paths and climbs. Information about the planned route, the length and duration, as well as the level of fitness and/or technical difficulty of a tour are non-binding and only serve to give the participants an approximate impression of the requirements to be expected. The participants must judge for themselves and on their own responsibility and decide whether they meet these requirements. Misjudgments in this context are solely the responsibility of the participants. They are also aware and agree that the course and duration of the tour, e.g. due to weather and road conditions, can be subject to changes at any time - even during the course of a tour - and in particular the time of return can be moved forward or backward. The participants are obliged to behave at all times in such a way that they do not endanger themselves or other participants. This includes in particular a sufficient safety distance and a speed and driving style adapted to the road and visibility conditions as well as personal ability. All participants have to assess their own abilities – especially their condition and driving technique – and adjust their driving style accordingly. In particular, the participants must judge for themselves whether they can ride a section of the trail safely and without endangering themselves or others; if in doubt, a section of the trail should be inspected beforehand and/or the mountain bike pushed or carried. All participants are responsible for complying with the provisions of the road traffic regulations on public roads and paths. The participants are aware that mountain bike tours are associated with certain risks and dangers and accept these risks and dangers consciously and with their full consent. The participants are particularly aware of and accept the fact that falls and the resulting – even severe – property damage, personal injury or financial loss can occur. Dangers and risks can arise in particular, but not only, from the - often changing - weather and road conditions as well as the behavior of third parties. An inadequate state of health, a lack of fitness, as well as overconfidence or insufficient driving skills on the part of the participants can also endanger themselves or others. The guide is not obliged to ensure that the route is secured or to point out dangers.

Guides of the bike school Asymmetrix are entitled to withdraw from the travel contract without notice if a participant, despite a warning, either disrupts the execution of the trip so significantly or behaves in such a way that violates the contract that the immediate cancellation of the contract, also to protect other fellow travelers, is justified. This applies in particular if the customer does not meet the special requirements of the tour (health, physical fitness, ability, etc.).
