Stay on Designated Bike Trails
Hilton Head’s extensive bike lane system guides you safely through natural habitats—avoid venturing off-trail to protect sensitive areas.
Watch for Wildlife on Early Rides
Riders in the early morning may spot deer and birds near wooded sections—keep a respectful distance to avoid startling them.
Hydrate & Protect Against Sun Exposure
