Letters to the Editor

Where have all the bicyclists gone on Hilton Head?

I co-own a bicycle rental business on Hilton Head Island and we have experienced a roughly 12 percent drop in business during the spring and summer season compared to last year. In speaking to others in business here, it seems this is trending all around.

What is it? Is Hilton Head losing its appeal? Has it been too crowded in the past and word is out that there are other places to go that aren’t so crowded?

I think it would make for an important story for the Packet to investigate and something useful that the Chamber of Commerce could look into.
