Recycle Bicycles pretty much only does onsite events. Check with your insurance agent...

howdy folks.
community cycles is putting together what we've dubbed "Rolling Bike Clinics", where we organize with a neighborhood, and show up on a certain day with stands and tools, and fix bikes. Typically, we've done this in lower income neighborhoods. It's a great way to meet your neighbors, and get their bikes working. It's amazing how many bikes aren't being ridden because they're "broken" with nothing more than a flat tire, or a disengaged brake cable or something equally innocuous.
we're looking to do abuot 8 of these events this summer, in different neighborhoods in Boulder. one of the questions we had come up in our planning meeting was that of insurance/liability. do any of you have any experience with in-the-field tune ups or repairs becoming a problem? do we have participants sign waivers? a lot of the visitors to our stands/tables are younger than 18, with a lot of parents both at work, or unable to be present to sign a waiver on the spot. also, the idea of introducing a waiver can put some parents off when they don't fully understand why we're there working on bikes for free...
any ideas or guidance from the list would be greatly appreciated.
