Tour de Troit

Art by KEM 3D

 

Join us on Saturday, September 14th, 2024 as we head to the streets and ride some of the city's historic areas, explore street art projects and take in its fabulous architecture. The ride provides bicyclists a unique opportunity to ride the streets of Detroit in one of the State's largest bike rides.

TOUR DE TROIT INFORMATION

—Type 3 E-Bikes (w/ Throttle) are not allowed for this event. The TDT is a leisurely ride of 8-12 MPH on city streets. The speed capabilities of the Type 3 E-bike within this ride lead to an unsafe and unmanageable ride situation for both participants and the Police. They are also not in alignment with the mission of the organization or the intent of the ride. If you have any questions on this, please email info@tour-de-troit.org. If you require an Electric-Assist Bike, please contact us at info@tour-de-troit.org.
