About us

We are a commited group of people who enjoy biking and want to share our experience with others in an attempt to promote community outside of the automobile. We have discovered routes and trails that very few people know about and will really enjoy.

Our bike routes bring people in contact with the beauty that still remains. Glorious architecture and interesting neighborhoods are enjoyed, still alive and vibrant with a sense of community, history and friendly people without projection.

We have done a lot of work in restoring this bike trail. We started during the winter with snow still on the ground and continued into spring. Click here to see the bicycle trail restoration pics.

If you are interested in volunteering in our non-profit organization to help restore bike trails feel free to contact us. Check the bottom of all our web pages for phone and email contact info.

We believe that perception, or what we see, defines who we are and what we feel, becoming our own version of reality and sadly enough for most of us, the only reality we ever experience. We believe that we have all been forced to see from our automobiles is the dirty highway transitions that lead in and out of the city. Dilapidated and burned out images that the media has forced feed us for years.

Our aim is to change all forms of prejudice, notions and beliefs, allowing for the transformation of our perception to ensue. Then we may become artists painting a new and beautiful scene, of how we would like the canvas called Detroit to beam.

Mesmerized by commercials and T.V., road side blazing well lit banners tell us how our life should be. Automobiles as a sex symbols, stay in your car, burn more fossil fuel, enjoy a drive thru lifestyle of consuming fast food, ending up empty, fat and out of shape with a different type of gas in your oversized tank. Pushing us, always moving too fast, missing the moment, we are caught up in a materialistic paradigm projections of out right deception, telling us of how are lives should be.

Numerous woodland trails, bike paths, sidewalks and rarely used roads have been explored and mapped out for everyone to enjoy. Our goal is to offer an alternative way of transporting people in and around the city while scoring a blow to the illusion and dependency upon the automobile. For the very thing that “made” Detroit has destroyed its sense of history and community. Numerous historic buildings and neighborhoods were destroyed and cleaved in half when the automobile agenda painted the town with ‘Freeways’ that needed more cars, so that we could get away from it all. Sadly what we left behind was our history and sense of community.

While we are at it, lets get rid of the trolley, the trains and mass transit too, that way they will all need something shiny and new. And while we are just at it, let us create urban sprawl, and why not the invention of the mall? Northland the first of its kind, forget the down town center and the five and dime … Welcome to Detroit’s version of how the world gunna be, Australia done first, yea you next Chineeeeeee

Our bike routes bring people in contact with the beauty that still remains. Glorious architecture and interesting neighborhoods are enjoyed, still alive and vibrant with a sense of community, history and friendly people without projection.

Maybe how we hold the city to be is nothing more than the reflection in the cup of our own perception. Hey man isn’t that narcissism in that direction? I heard that selflessness was a heavenly direction, a beautiful reflection, true without deception.

Perhaps the Holy Grail really is the chalice of life that we hold it to be ? Maybe it is our own view that really counts. With this in mind, maybe we are the cup itself. As we begin our rides around town we can pour our love for the city, along with the love in our hearts out like a stream. With deep breathing we apply it to the moment, with all good will, force and intent, opening up for everyone to take a sip and see. Maybe we all are doorways to a similar dream ... ? "Bike riding in Detroit for me is about feeling good to the world around me while I deconstruct myself."

Discovering the city of Detroit and its scattered remnants of history can lead us to the conclusion that beauty is where we see it and not if and where we find it. As we open up our hearts, what is brought to bear is our own stream of will that changes our perception based reality. The beauty of it all is us, the energy, the view and the feelings that we bring is what matters most.
