Detroit Bikes! is a grassroots advocacy project associated with Detroit Synergy, aimed at promoting cycling within the urban city, specifically the “Motor City”.

Our goal is to become a volunteer group that:

• Identifies opportunities, existing groups/businesses and special events that promote city cycling.
• Educates both young and old of the benefits of cycling as a means of transit, along with understanding proper bike safety and maintenance.
• Promotes the potential of a dynamic city of cyclists with activities to create an awareness of biking.  Our groups’ actions create the push for cycling infrastructure, and our events benefit those who share the goal of a diverse, and healthy city of transit, recreation and positive energy.

What can one expect from a Detroit Bikes! tour?

Our guests can expect to gain a unique appreciation of Detroit, whether they live in the city, were one time residents, or just lived through stories of the old neighborhood from parents or grandparents.  Best of all, Detroit Bikes! and Detroit Synergy gives back positive energy for the city and our group makes all attempts to bring together all interested individuals who want to be involved in the future of Detroit’s city cycling scene, the opportunity to participate and lead by example.

A Detroit Bikes! tour is excellent for those interested in cycling through Detroit’s great historic neighborhoods, or for cyclists whom enjoy seeing Detroit’s destinations at a more personal scale.  Our group tour provides an avenue to make the urban lifestyle accessible in one of the most important cities that changed the 20th century.  Simply put, a bike tour with Detroit Bikes! can become a history lesson about the “Modernization” of the American Metropolis, while leaving urban explorers with the mode of transit necessary to truly experience a city full of transformation.
