To bike or not to bike...that is not a question
Burma Shave-type signs show up along Ride to Remember route
Viewers who checked out the Iconoclast View column see a vision of many Burma Shave signs in front of them.
The signs were created for Saturday’s Ride to Remember bike ride by Bluffton Public Library staff.
The signs were place along the various bike routes to keep bikers entertained. And, according to questionnaires filled out by participants following the ride, the signs were a big hit.
Here are many of the messages, in case you missed them. These were spread out from two to three signs per message.
