Bicentennial Bike Route 1976 sign
Up for sale today is this Bike Route sign, from 1976, celebrating the USA’s Bicentennial. Made to the exact federal standard, as used along designated bicycle routes to inform bicyclists of bicycle route direction changes and to confirm route direction, distance, and destination. It also serves to notify travelers that, in addition to being used for vehicles, the roads these signs are seen on are also bicycle routes available for public use. Perfect for any bike enthusiast in your life, here is your chance to own an elegant display piece of roadside history.
An original of these is rare to find scrapped – most of them have long since been retired. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, for just a fraction of the price.
This sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and has been faithfully rescaled from the original size down to 20 by 15 inches. It is a high quality, heavy steel, non-reflective sign – perfect for both indoor and outdoor display. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close!
I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A.
