Is it Dangerous?
There is always a risk of injury when riding bikes, but after 20 years we have only seen a few minor broken bones. Our safety record is outstanding, for the amount of clients taken (70,000 +) – plus thousands of hours spent riding in the mountains. It must be remembered that you are the person in control of the bike and therefore must be responsible for your own actions.
