Bike back in time
Published: August 22, 2003
Do it the old-fashioned way: bike, have ice cream, enjoy, relax.
Bluffton (USA) is one of those towns which city center hasn’t changed too much in the last 100 years. It’s easy to get around. And back in the days the way to get around was to walk or to bike. Back in the days the way to stay cool in summer wasn’t air-conditioning, it was an ice cream social.
Babbie Guscio, a well known fund-raiser organizer in Bluffton, came up with the idea of letting people experience that again. For fun. Just to relax.
“It’s just a nice little 21/2-mile jaunt around town,” Guscio said. “At the turn of the century - the 20th century - life was at a much slower pace than it is now. I just wanted to give people a chance to take a breath - a before-Labor Day treat. I just want them to relax a couple of hours and discover Bluffton and what we have to offer.”
Participants can bike around town, have some ice cream and enjoy entertainment provided by Beth and Jeff Corry, participants in the upcoming May River Theatre’s production of “Too Marvelous”.
Bike repairmen from the new Bluffton business Sports Addiction will set up shop at the Heyward House to perform free bike maintenance or minor repairs. The bike-path advocacy group Greater Bluffton Pathways will give away free children’s helmets to anyone who needs them.
The fee is old fashioned as well: $5 per person.
