POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Wristbands
We and all of our service providers will rely on
your wristband to identify you
as a participant. All participants must
wear a wristband at all times.
Wristbands must be worn on your person
and may not be placed on your bicycle since you can not be individually
identified as a participant. This is especially true when you
will be in the midst of many other
riders who are not participants such as in Chicago on the lakefront
bike path.
You should normally need only one wristband. The
wristband will normally fade after a few days,
especially
after
being in the shower.
If your wristband breaks or gets lost you will be
able to get another one, but we may need to see your
ID to verify you as an official participant. Wristbands
will be placed directly on you by a staff member
and not given to you to put on yourself to prevent
wristbands being transferred to non-participants.
You will not receive nor be identified by a specific
rider number.
Placement on Your Body
We strongly prefer but do not require that
you wear your wristband on your left wrist. We prefer
it to be on your wrist as opposed to your ankle because
your wrist won't move when you're actually
cycling on the road as opposed your ankle and makes
it significantly easier for us to quickly and easily
identify you.
In addition, we prefer that you wear
the wristband on the left side of your body as opposed
to the right side since it's significantly
easier for us to identify you as we pass you in a
support vehicle on your left on the road. If you
must put your wristband on your ankle we do
require
that
you keep it above your sock at all times so we can
easily identify you as a participant. |
