Bicycle Safety Clubs Grow Across West Virginia Towns
A Charleston report states 20 bicycle safety clubs with 50 to 150 members each have formed in as many towns, with more clubs in process. W. Easley, head of the highway safety bureau, says members will follow rules modeled after auto laws to reduce dangers that have claimed three lives this year. Greenbrier County leads in organization, with clubs in seven municipalities. In Fairmont, St. Albans, Clarksburg, Ronceverte and other cities riders must obey city ordinances and ride as registered operators. First offense brings a week at the police station, second bans the bicycle for two weeks, third incurs 30 days, and a fourth eliminates it. The initiative aims to make future drivers safer behind the wheel.
