September Tour Overview

Just two months of tours left this season! Here’s a brief rundown of how September’s are shaping up.

This Sunday’s Architecture tour has openings on it — which is unusual as it typically sells out far in advance. [Checks reservations…Yep, October’s is already fully booked!]
It’s the final month for our weekday tours, which are shorter in time and mileage than our weekend outings and are commensurately less expensive. Join us for Riverwalk/Dequindre Cut on the 12th and 27th and Eastern Market on the 17th.
Spots are still open for Belle Isle 9/15, Southwest Detroit 9/21, and Auto Heritage 9/22.
Get ready for October’s Haunted expeditions! We are offering four to close out our season.

On September 14, the annual Tour de Troit will hit the streets and Wheelhouse will be there in support. The ride will start and finish at Riverside Park in Southwest Detroit.

The shop will be open 9/14 regular hours of 11AM-6PM.

Happy Labor Day Weekend! We are open 11AM to 6PM Saturday, Sunday, and Monday 8/31-9/2. We will be available for walk-in rentals and quick on-the-spot fixes such as gear and/or brake adjustments and tube replacements. Plus, we have some great bikes available for purchase and a few spots are still open on Saturday’s Music Heritage Bicycle Tour.

We just launched a new website so, if you have any issues, please email us at info@wheelhousedetroit.com and someone will get back to you quickly.

Bikes on Film

Kelli hosted a bike safety session at the Children’s Room at the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library (one of her favorite places in the city) on June 28. She brought some bike-themed TV and movie clips along so as to not completely bore the poor kids. Here they are, in all their Youtube glory if you’re ever feeling nostalgic…
