Code of Conduct (Required)

By selecting "Agree" above to the right of your name you agree to abide by the club Code of Conduct: As a member of the Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC), I represent ACTC whenever I participate in an ACTC event, and/or whenever I wear apparel that includes the name and/or logo of ACTC. Whenever I represent ACTC, I will: - Practice good sportsmanship and conduct myself in a respectful manner at all cycling and non-cycling events. - Abide by all relevant traffic regulations, respect the rules of the road, and ride in a safe manner at all cycling events. - Inappropriate and unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to: * Physical abuse to any person or property while riding or at any club event. * Use of foul language, making obscene gestures toward any person while riding or at any club event. * Malicious actions at a club event that endanger the well-being of others. * Unlawful activity, including theft or fraud, intentional damage to property; and use, sale, possession, or distribution of illegal drugs. * Non-consensual physical contact, threatening or bullying behavior, unwanted sexual advances, and any other disrespectful behavior. * Conduct that is hostile, abusive, harassing, or discriminatory toward others. * Excessive consumption of alcohol at club events or participating in these events while inebriated or under the influence of illegal drugs. * Other inappropriate conduct that reflects poorly on the club and/or upon cycling in general. * Repeated failure to honor commitments undertaken as an ACTC member. Members who experience or witness inappropriate or unacceptable activity as outlined above should promptly report the issue to a club officer (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, or Current Past President). We urge that such reports be in writing, with a description of the incident(s), names of the individuals involved, names of witnesses, and include date, time, and location information. ACTC members must be conscious of their role as ambassadors to the non-cycling and recreational cycling communities. The ACTC logo, such as on apparel, is an advertising vehicle for the club. Inappropriate behavior and/or failure to abide by bicycling traffic laws can be extremely detrimental to the club's image. ACTC Membership is a privilege. Membership may be revoked, suspended, or denied if an assembled quorum of the Board determines by a 2/3 majority that a member is in material violation of this Code of Conduct.
