Daphne, Ala (June 24, 2019) – Two popular purveyors of ice cream, both located on the Eastern Shore Trail, have been recognized for accommodating bicycles. Just in time for National Ice Cream Month in July, the Baldwin County Trailblazers, founders of the Trail, presented Whit’s Frozen Custard in Daphne and Two Sisters Bakery & Deli in Fairhope a Bike-Friendly window emblem for providing bikes racks on site.
“We want to raise awareness that a growing cyclist community is good for business,” says Jennifer Vestal, president of the Trailblazers. “Eventually we hope to give 50 businesses across the county a Bike-Friendly emblem to display on glass doors or windows. But bicycling and ice cream are two of the joys of summer, so these shops are fitting places to kick off a Bike-Friendly campaign.”
Celebrating National Ice Cream Month or any time, cyclists have an advantage. According to Harvard Health, an average-weight adult burns about 300 calories every 30 minutes during a leisurely paced bike ride. That’s about twice the calories of a single serving of your favorite flavor.
These short-ride destinations on the Eastern Shore Trail offer ice cream and a bike rack:
