Virginia requires a valid license and inspection, helmet for driver and passenger, eye protection unless the helmet has safety glass, headlights and taillight visibility standards, bumper brakes, and seat for two when carrying a passenger. Drive on roads not sidewalks. Riders should avoid oil slicks and braking on wet surfaces and cross tracks at 90 degrees. Maintain staggered formation with ample space.

A meditation reduces man to a crude chemical composition of fat, minerals, and sugar. It questions whether this material view suffices and contrasts it with a Biblical view that man is a being created in God’s image and destined for salvation through Christ.
