Safety
Show up knowing what to expect.
Real-world events carry real-world risk. UNASSTD cannot remove it, so we do the next best thing: make expectations clear before you go, make problems easy to report and be plain about who is responsible for what.
What hosts commit to
Every organizer who publishes on UNASSTD agrees to these standards. They are also what the listing format asks for: a ride cannot publish without a pace and a helmet policy, a run cannot publish without a weather plan, an analog gathering cannot publish without accessibility notes.
- Clear expectations. Distance, pace, level, format, materials, price and what the event actually involves, described honestly, so people can judge whether it fits them before they RSVP.
- Meeting point precision. A general area on the public page, and the exact meeting spot with instructions on how to find the group sent to confirmed attendees.
- No-drop honesty. A ride or run marked no-drop keeps the group together. If it does not, it is not marked no-drop.
- Helmet policy. Every ride states whether helmets are required.
- Venue rules. For analog and social events, the host has permission to use the space and shares its rules with attendees.
- Adults only. Every UNASSTD event is for people aged 18 and over.
- A responsible contact. Every club gives UNASSTD a named contact and an email address we can reach if something goes wrong.
What participants commit to
Hosts volunteer their time to bring people together. Participants hold up their side.
- Choose events that fit what the listing says, and be honest with yourself about pace, distance and level.
- Cancel your RSVP when you cannot come, so someone on the waitlist can take the spot and the host can plan.
- Follow the host's safety instructions, the venue's rules and the rules of the road.
- Treat the people you meet with respect. Harassment, intimidation and discrimination can be reported and lead to removal from UNASSTD.
- Keep a phone with you and reachable, including at phone-free events.
- Keep what you learn about other attendees at the event. Names and faces from a ride are not a mailing list.
How reporting works
Every event, club and member page has a Report this link that opens the report form. You can report with or without an account. Tell us what happened; you do not have to decide what rule it broke.
UNASSTD reviews every report. Depending on what we find we may contact the club's responsible contact, remove or archive a listing, suspend a club, which cancels its upcoming events and stops RSVPs, or disable an account. You receive an email confirming that we received your report. Reports are seen by UNASSTD, not by the host or the person you reported.
In an emergency
If someone is hurt or in danger, call your local emergency number first. In the United States that is 911.
UNASSTD is not an emergency service. Nobody at UNASSTD is watching events as they happen, and a report to us is not a call for help. Tell the host, get the help you need, and tell us afterwards so we can follow up.
Phone-free events
Some analog gatherings are phone-free. On UNASSTD that is always voluntary: a shared preference for the room, not a rule. Keep a charged, reachable phone with you for emergencies and for anyone who may need to reach you. A host cannot require you to hand over or switch off your phone, and a listing that says otherwise is something to report.
Who is responsible for what
UNASSTD is a platform. Independent organizers plan and run the events listed here: they choose the route, the venue, the pace and the rules, and they are responsible for running the event safely. UNASSTD provides the listing format, the RSVP and reminder tools, the reporting process and the moderation behind it.
Two plain statements. UNASSTD does not insure independent hosts or their events. UNASSTD does not verify the identity of hosts or attendees. Clubs are reviewed before they can publish, every host agrees to these standards and every club gives us a responsible contact; none of that is identity verification or insurance, and we will not describe it as if it were.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. Hosts should consider their own insurance and the rules that apply where they operate. Our terms say more about the responsibility split. Questions go to hello@unasstd.com.
