ON TWO WHEELS

Hilton Head Island is a wonderland for bikers — even for those who haven’t been on a bike in years.

By Linda Lanier

The island received the Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community designation by the League of American Bicyclists, and with 60 miles of dedicated leisure pathways and hard-packed sand beaches, spending time on two wheels is a breeze.

Here are just a couple of the scenic routes you can take.

BEACH RIDES AT LOW TIDE For salty breezes Start at Coligny Beach Park, get on the beach, turn left and ride on the beach towards the north end of the island. A good spot to turn around is just before the “folly” at Burkes Beach (Beach Marker 9.8), about five miles up the beach. Enjoy the wind on your face and the sounds of the breaking waves — memories that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

SHELTER COVE COMMUNITY PARK TO HISTORIC MITCHELVILLE FREEDOM PARK For a glimpse of island history A pleasant afternoon ride begins at Shelter Cove Community Park. Enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking Broad Creek, then head north on the pathway for about two miles. Stop at the historic Zion Chapel of Ease and the Baynard Mausoleum, at the intersection of Mathews Drive (Mile Marker 6.0) and William Hilton Parkway. The eternal resting place of four Revolutionary War patriots, Baynard Mausoleum is the oldest structure on the island. Cross the William Hilton Parkway crosswalk at the traffic signal and then continue north on the William Hilton Parkway pathway. At Dillon Road, turn right, ride a couple of miles, then turn right on the Beach City Road pathway to the Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park on Port Royal Sound. Situated among the mossy live oaks and palmettos, learn the history of the first self-governing town of formerly enslaved people in America, dating to the Civil War.

BIKING TIPS ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND

Safety first, pictures later!

• Obey all traffic signals and pathway markings, including stop signs. • Yield to pedestrians on pathways. • When biking at night, wear light-colored clothing or carry a flashlight. Bicycles must have a red rear reflector and a headlight. • Ride single file and keep a safe distance from other bicyclists. • When biking on the beach, check the tides and be sure to bike during low tide. • For more information on places to explore by bike, visit culturehhi.org/ cultural-trail-map.

BEACH MARKERS sit at the dune line and start at South Beach and go north to BM #134 at Fish Haul Creek in Port Royal. If the sign has a letter after the number, it is marking access only and is not marking distance (for example, 59A at the access of Coligny Beach).

“Folly” is a point on the beach that may not be passable at high tide on foot or by bike.
