What do I do if something happens on a ride?
Summary: If there’s any kind of incident on one of your insured rides that might result in a claim (even if that doesn’t end up happening) you should report it as soon as possible after the ride. (source: LAB FAQs ).
Before the ride
Always carry a League of American Bicyclists (LAB) Incident Report Form on your ride. The form is available under the Ride Leader Forms tab on the FFBC website.
During the ride
If there is an accident or injury during your ride:
- Complete the LAB Incident Report Form to the best of your knowledge. Print clearly and legibly. Enter as much information as you have; leave it blank if you don’t know the answer.
- Club Name is Fremont Freewheelers, and club address is: PO Box 1868, Fremont CA 94538.
- In case of serious injury, immediately notify American Specialty by calling 1 800 566 7941. If calling outside of normal business hours, follow the automated instructions for emergency claims reporting.
These essential instructions are included with the accident report form.
After the ride
- Promptly send the completed form to the address at the top of the report form. Alternatively you can email a copy to the the following two email addresses at our insurance company:
- Rene Waterson, rwaterson@americanspecialty.com

- Send a copy of the report to the FFBC Secretary:
