As part of our affiliation to Scottish Cycling we require all our young riders to agree to our code of conduct
We are committed to creating an environment that promotes the enjoyment and enthusiasm of every rider within our club through a safe and positive environment. We want to support our riders to base their conduct on a sense of personal integrity; based on the acceptance of rules, fairness, equality, respect for others and a sense of what is right; where major rule infringements are automatically rejected as being not part of the sport of cycling.
As a member of the club, I will:
• abide by the rules of the sport

• wearsuitable kit (including a helmet) and clothing for all cycling activity sessions, as agreed with the club leaders

opponent is not acceptable or permitted behaviour in any sport
• work equally hard for myself and my club
• respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, disability,
cultural background or religion
• treat all participants in cycling as I would like to be treated - not bullying or taking unfair advantage
of another participant
• cooperate with my leaders, club mates and opponents in any competition - remember,
without them there would be no competition
• thank officials and opponents after competition.
