Students warned to follow biking rules PAGE 13 - PLAINDFALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 1. 1975 If all the kids in Amer­ ica who will be riding their bikes back to school this year lined up in single fiie, they would circle the equator almost two-and- a-half times.

The bicycle is now con­ sidered a vehicle in many states, subject to all the - laws and regulations that govern the operation of any other vehiele. The cyclist musV^Sssume his share of responsibility for the safe use of public thor­ oughfares.
