Membership in Cascade Bicycle Club is a privilege. Cascade riders, members, ride leaders, volunteers, staff, board members, donors, and event participants must be conscious of their role as ambassadors to the non-cycling and cycling communities, both out riding and online. Discriminatory, harassing, or disrespectful behavior while out on Cascade rides is wrong and harmful. Discriminatory, harassing, or disrespectful behavior online while interacting on Cascade’s social media pages or in Cascade-related groups is also detrimental to being a safe, welcoming, and inclusive bicycle organization.
 
Disciplinary actions may result in the revocation of the ability to participate in rides, being banned from social media platforms, or having all membership perks and/or privileges revoked. Membership may be suspended, revoked, or denied; if after due consideration, an assembled quorum of the Leadership Team determines by 2/3 vote, that a member is in material violation of this Code of Conduct.
 
Riders, members, ride leaders, volunteers, staff, and board members who witness inappropriate behavior or unacceptable activity should report it to the Executive Director, Lee Lambert, via this form. Please include the section of the Code of Conduct that was violated. You can view the Code of Conduct on our website here: https://cascade.org/about/code-conduct-and-grievance-policy
 
The Code operates in conjunction with the policies of Cascade Bicycle Club and with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Where differences exist, because of local customs, norms, laws, and regulations, we require the use of the highest standard of behavior or the most restrictive requirement that applies.
