November News: MotorCities National Heritage Area Nomination | Thank You Crew! | Sale on All 2023 In-Stock Bikes
Some quickie news hits for November:
We were very proud to be nominated for the MotorCities National Heritage Area Award of Excellence in the Heritage/Tourism Category for our Auto Heritage Bicycle Tour. Many thanks to our amazing guide, Michael Darga, and our partners at MotorCities and the Ford Piquette Plant.
I always tell people to check this tour out even if they’re not a “car person” because so many of our 20th and 21st century stories have been shaped by the automotive industry. We’re not talking about makes and models, but about industrial architecture, labor history, and neighborhood growth and decline. If you haven’t joined us — more than 1,000 people have over 13 years! — we hope you will in 2024.
I’d personally like to thank the amazing Wheelhouse crew who absolutely killed it this season. We had such good feedback on the excellence of our repairs and turn-around quickness, our overall customer service, and the quality of our tours.
Shop staff (retail and service) — Joseline, Judith, and Rob — you are all on the A-Team! Day in and day out, you achieved consistency and top-notch customer service, and that is super hard to do. You are appreciated.
Tour crew — Tera, Blake, Mike, Reg, Chris, and Dan — you all are such great stewards of Detroit’s stories. And Linda, our private tour booker, exemplifies patience, responsiveness, organization, and adaptibility. Thank you to the entire tour team for a great season.
And last but not least, our exceptional General Manager, Tatiana, whose stellar customer service is topped only by her technical expertise, her hard work, and her depth of knowledge about a lot of things. Wheelhouse would not be what it is without you!
