00:00.160 --> 00:03.620
- There are a lot of cyclists
on Ramstein Air Base,

00:03.620 --> 00:04.855
especially this time of
year when the weather

00:04.855 --> 00:07.760
is as beautiful as it is.

00:07.760 --> 00:09.410
To ride on Ramstein Air Base,

00:09.410 --> 00:11.370
first and foremost you need your helmet.

00:11.370 --> 00:13.083
You need reflectors on your bicycle

00:13.083 --> 00:17.940
and a headlight and taillight
during the hours of darkness.

00:17.940 --> 00:19.999
When riding on Ramstein Air
Base we suggest you follow

00:19.999 --> 00:22.660
the rules on the road just
like you're in motor vehicle.

00:22.660 --> 00:25.700
That includes no distracted
driving or riding.

00:25.700 --> 00:27.542
So no cellphone use or use

00:27.542 --> 00:30.020
of headphones or music while riding.

00:30.020 --> 00:32.460
There've been accidents in the past,

00:32.460 --> 00:35.502
we're averaging about five
each year here on Ramstein

00:35.502 --> 00:38.750
and we've had three so
far this fiscal year.

00:38.750 --> 00:42.220
Bicycle safety doesn't just
rest on the cyclist themselves,

00:42.220 --> 00:45.890
also us motor vehicle drivers
have a responsibility as well

00:45.890 --> 00:47.211
to keep a look out for them

00:47.211 --> 00:48.608
and give them the space they need

00:48.608 --> 00:50.108
when they're sharing the road with us.

00:50.108 --> 00:52.691
