Rolling into Spring
As Spring approaches, there are numerous ride announcements. Curbed Detroit published an article about Wheelhouse tours, Tour de Troit events & Slow Roll.
Wheelhouse Detroit also announced their 2016 season tours. Tours range from $25-$45 and are for riders of all levels. Bikes can be rented from Wheelhouse for an additional $10. Tours can cover neighborhoods (like Corktown, Hamtramck, Southwest, and Eastern Market), interests (architecture, music, sports), and history (Underground Railroad, haunted Detroit, and automobiles).

The Ninth Annual Detroit Bikes! Spring Training Ride (STR for short) is a sports-themed event in which the riders will cruise past current and past Detroit sports venues, including Comerica Park, Ford Field, Tiger Stadium (RIP), Olympia Stadium (RIP), Cobo Arena (RIP), Joe Louis Arena (soon to be RIP), Recreation Park, Keyworth Stadium, Veteran's Memorial Park, and others. Wear something that represents your favorite Detroit City team (professional, minor league, college, futbol, high school, CYO, etc.), such as a T-shirt or bandanna and help us welcome the warm weather! The ride will be at a relaxed, non-competitive pace, suitable for all experience levels.
