Every year over 1,100
bicyclists are killed in the
United States in bicycle ac
cidents. Os these,' Georgia
State Patrol Sergeant W.D.

aIS-effort to curb the rapidly
Sing number of bicycle
iths in the country.
The State Patrol says,
‘JWhile bike riding can be both
furt and useful, it can also be
(||pgerous. When a bicycle
wid a car collide, many times
car is at fault. But the
bicycle always gets hurt the
worst.”
i'The G.S.P. advises that
parents planning to purchase
a'bicycle for their children
tfcould be aware of inherent
o«ponsibilities. Several
questions the parent might
ask include: 1) Is my child old
enough to understand traffic
2) Is the neighborhood

and 3) Do I have the patience
to teach my child traffic laws
and rules?
The primary rule to
remember in biking is RIDE
ON THE RIGHT ON A BIKE.
Ride in the same direction as
cars, but keep just as close to
the edge of the road as
possible. In other words, ride
WITH the traffic, not on the
left facing it.
Other rules for safer biking
include: 1) Obey ALL traffic
signals, including lights and
signs; 2) Be seen at night
wear white clothing at night,
and have lights and reflec
tors; 3) Keep hands on han
dlebars; 4) Slow down going
downhill- you may have to
stop quickly! 5) Slow down at
intersections and look both
directions; 6) Ride in a
straight line without weaving
or swerving; 7) Keep eyes
straight ahead; 8) Ride single
file- never side by side; 9)
Give proper hand signals
BEFORE turning; 10) Only
one on a bike; and 11) Don’t
ride a bike that is not in good
condition.
Most parents- and young
bikers- are not aware of the
fact that all bikers must obey
the same rules as must all
motorists. But all bikers are
required to obey auto driving
rules.

Air Force
Assn. Drive
Underway
The annual Air Force
Association membership
drive is currently underway at
Robins Air Force Base in
conjunction with a campaign
throughout Middle Georgia
which will continue through
the month of April.
All area people interested in
the future of the Air Force are
being urged to join the AFA’s
Middle Georgia Chapter 296,
one of the largest and most
active chapters in the United
States.
The AFA drive has the
strong endorsement of Major
General Ralph . Holland,
commander of the Warner
Robins Air Logistics Center,
and other key Air Force of
ficials.
Tri-Chairman for the Robins
AFB campaign are Colonel
Samuel A. Groening, H.L.
Everett, and Chief Master
Sergeant Robert A. Steel.
Lieutenant Colonel Philip
Carlson is secretary.
Since it was founded in 1946,
the AFA has championed the
cause of aerospace power for
national security. The
association also has endorsed
the development of programs
in support of Air Force people
and their families.
In his endorsement, General
Holland pointed out that the
AFA is the only organization
that represents all Air Force
people -- officers, airmen,
civilian employees, cadets,
reservists, guardsmen and
retirees,
“For the AFA to represent
each of us effectively, it needs
the support and participation
of all Air Force people as well
as members of the public,”
General Holland added. He
concluded: “I am confident
that with everyone's help, our
1975 AFA Membership Drive
will be a rousing success.”
Membership in the AFA is
open to people in all walks of
life, as well as to active duty
personnel. Membership costs
$lO per year or $24 for three
years. Lifetime memberships
cost S2OO
AFA members receive
many benefits, including a
subscription to the monthly
Air Force Magazine and
eligibility for a member of low
cost group insurance
programs.
because the car must then
drive between the two bikes
which may swerve and weave
This has been observed to be
very prevalent in Perry.
One other confusing part of
bicycle riding involves the
turning of corners. Hand
signals MUST be given, but
NOT during the actual turn
itself. The signal must be
given PRIOR to the turn, with
the LEFT hand giving the
proper signal. (Arm straight
out for left turns, arm cocked
upward for right turns, and
arm cocked downward for
stoos,) BOTH bands should be
on the handlebars during the
turn.
Biking is an increasingly
popular activity, both among
the youth and with adults, but
done improperly can be a
killer! The Georgia State
Patrol urges all bikers to
know- and observe- bike
safety rules.
