3489 REVIEW DENIED A hold-harmless agreement or pre-accident release executed for the benefit of operators of a sporting event by one of the participants is an express assumption of the risk that relieves the operators of a duty to protect the participant, but does not relieve other participants of any duty; under the doctrine of implied assumption of the risk, participants in a non-competitive, long-distance bicycle ride over public highways do not owe each other a duty of reasonable care to protect against inherent risks of the activities, including risks that arise from violation of Vehicle Code sections.CitationMOSER v RATINOFF (Bike Ride) 105 CA4 1211 [See: Knight v Jewett 3 C4 296, T/AT 10/92; Ford v Gouin 3 C4 339, T/AT 10/92; Tunkl v Regents 60 C2 92; Westlye v Look 17 CA4 1715, T/AT 11/93]
