Shop News September 2021
Just a quick note as we round into (IMHO) the best riding weather of the year: fall!
We have received a handful of bikes from Giant, Kona, and Brooklyn Bicycle Company, and will continue to see a trickle through the end of the season. We keep wheelhousedetroit.com/bikes up-to-date, so keep your eyes on what you’re interested in there — or come on in for a test ride!
Our distributors all tell us that supply chain issues will continue through next year, possibly even until 2024, so things aren’t changing any time soon in terms of our ability to get parts and bikes. But we are doing our best and that’s not half bad these days!
Our fall hours are in effect, we are now open six days a week — closed on Tuesdays.
We are currently operating with a mask requirement in the shop per the City of Detroit’s Health Department recommendations.
Our tour schedule is complete and we’re already seeing some October dates filling up. Our public tours cap out at six or 10 riders — depending on the route — these small groups make for excellent experiences but most do sell out. Visit wheelhousedetroit.com/tours for more info and to book.
Looking to book a private tour? Please reach out to bookings@wheelhousedetroit.com sooner rather than later. We are getting a lot of last-minute requests this season and it’s even more difficult to accomodate than usual because we are, like everyone else, short-staffed. We want to ride with you and the more time you give us, the more likely that is!
Finally, I’d like to thank our amazing team for working their tails off in extreme heat and with, to be honest, too many not-kind people. They’ve performed extraordinarily and I am very very grateful. Kudos to Tatiana, Rob, Judith, Linda, Joseline, Tera, and Blake.
Happy riding, Kelli Kavanaugh (owner)
