Complete helmet and bike checks before any riding points begin.

• Complete helmet and bike checks before any riding points begin.
• Use the actual equipment instructions and suitable help for helmet fit, brakes, tires and other needed checks. Resolve an issue, change the plan or cancel before rolling. This is a start requirement, with no added points or exception for a high game score; keep the chosen activity’s ordinary scoring afterward. Wear helmets, check brakes and tires, use traffic-safe routes, ride predictably, obey signs, regroup only at safe stop points, and do not use phones while moving. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Helmet First as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Helmet First; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Record every score only while fully stopped.

• Record every score only while fully stopped.
• Choose suitable places clear of moving users for all card, phone or note checks. Ride attentively between them; needing an extra safe stop never costs a point. Keep the base activity’s scoring quota and finish condition, with no separate bonus for this rule. Wear helmets, check brakes and tires, use traffic-safe routes, ride predictably, obey signs, regroup only at safe stop points, and do not use phones while moving. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• Reset and rotate evenly after Stop-Point Scoring; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A controlled advance signal earns 1 extra point.

• A controlled advance signal earns 1 extra point.
• Use a traffic-free signal-practice activity and announce one eligible pass per rider. Demonstrate the appropriate signal before the turn or stop while control is secure, with hands back on the controls for the maneuver; a parked signal demonstration is an equal option. That eligible demonstration adds 1 at most per rider to the base result. Never remove a hand during difficult turning or braking for a point. Wear helmets, check brakes and tires, use traffic-safe routes, ride predictably, obey signs, regroup only at safe stop points, and do not use phones while moving. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• Reset and rotate evenly after Signal Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Store devices before bikes move; check them only while safely stopped.

• Store devices before bikes move; check them only while safely stopped.
• Apply this throughout the chosen route. A needed safe pull-off check preserves the segment’s ordinary point. Moving device use stops that segment’s scoring and prompts a safe pause before continuing. Do not make up the point with extra riding or add a bonus for delaying a needed check. Wear helmets, check brakes and tires, use traffic-safe routes, ride predictably, obey signs, regroup only at safe stop points, and do not use phones while moving.

Any rider may reject an unsuitable route.

• Hear concerns while stopped without demanding an explanation. Choose a route suitable for everyone or cancel; a majority cannot overrule a veto. One completed suitable change or cancellation earns 1 shared recognition point, separate from any base planning score. The veto remains available after that point is used and never requires testing an unsafe option. Wear helmets, check brakes and tires, use traffic-safe routes, ride predictably, obey signs, regroup only at safe stop points, and do not use phones while moving. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
