Hard to put into words why but this is probably one of if not the best videos on Detroit I've seen. It's not the best of Detroit it's not the worst of Detroit it's just a great perspective
Pretty cool that you're the ceo of a bike company and you've decided to live without a car in detroit! I'm a lifelong detroiter and know that can't be easy. The bike infrastructure has come a long long way, and it's getting better and better!! Thanks for coming to the city
@@Propelbikes ive thought about doing it myself. Definitely have to catch an uber sometimes. Also, the bus system gets a bad rep, but its not too bad. The FAST bus is actually pretty good.
@@Propelbikes The Core city of Detroit is an investor and designer directly from Japan and some of the homes have Japanese living in them. This is to my understanding from a realtor on my visit. Note
@@PropelbikesYeah, after almost 70 years of destruction. Yeah, it's about time 2/3 of the people are gone, so there's a lot of room to do whatever you want. I worked there I know.
DETROIT is like riding a motorcycle. Most of the time it goes fine until you’re shot over not buying homemade cologne at a gas station. That lively creative energy is from folks like you not the natives buddy.
WELCOME TO DETROIT.. AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING YOUR BUSINESS HERE.. I'VE BEEN HERE 54 YEARS AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS AWESOME.. DETROIT LIONS DEVASTATE BABY ✌️
Detroit is the Murder Capital Apocalypse according too Everyone who has never been there. Detroit and its Surrounding Metro region is actually quite nice,quite accessible and quite safe. The Belle Isle may be one of the most underrated Parks in the Entire US.
Who are you kidding? I watch the news murders every morning in Detroit, no regard to life. Killing, Vengeful people everywhere. You think you can walk Detroit neighborhoods without being robbed, raped, kidnapped or murdered you need a reality check.
@@Propelbikes You bumped your head, you should get a helmet. Detroit died in 1967, and it will never recover. You need to move to China to make things, nobody will work for you jokers. Carpet baggers like you shouldnt waste you time, you couldnt make it whee you were from, you wont make it here.
Detroit is being transformed into a city of the future. Plenty of history and architecture. There is an excitement happening. The restaurant and culinary scene is pretty great. The river walk and parks are growing. All the bike infrastructure is new in the last few years. Urban agriculture is pretty unique.
Great video! I live in the Metro-Detroit area born and raised. Detroit is seeing a resurgence for sure. I’ve seen various social media things where people comment how bad Detroit is, comment on the crime, how they’d never go there, etc. and I’d show a picture of my 10 year old daughter riding her bicycle around Detroit in her flip-flops and comment on how these grown men commenting are more scared than a 10 year old little girl.
Bring your ice skates if you come in the winter because we have a great outdoor skating ring in the heart of the city. Summer choose any of our Great Lakes.
Thank you for the positive vibe. I was born in the "D" and have lived in it's suburbs ever since. I've seen the worst to what is now it's best. Mayor Dugan deserves a lot of credit for our transformation and it's great to be a part of it. I was born here in 1962 and my daughter is a pastry chef at a higher end restaurant in Detroit.
@@ozar62 Kwame really got the ball rolling but (s)texting and skimming is all he will be remembered for rather than the progress he started. If Bing didn’t get screwed over by the State he would have been way better than Duggan could ever dream.
My parents were born here in '62 as well, Taylor born and raised :P My Mom's parents lived on Lafayette in the city before they moved to Taylor after the riots.
Detroit is going to be better than ever in 1-2 years.. I was soooo impressed with Detroit and the surrounding communities… I truly love this city.. Very eclectic…♥️♥️♥️
I grew up in Madison Heights, which is about 10 minutes north of Detroit. Unfortunately, as I was growing up, my parents stopped taking us to Detroit for events because of the crime.. I loved the city, though, and always dreamed it would come back to life. I am so happy at the progress that's been made in the last decade. A lot of people like to pick on the city still, so thank you for highlighting what's really happening in this beautiful city.
I had no idea you moved here! I’ve seen most of your RUclips videos over the past couple of years. I am so glad to have you as a member of our biking community. Hope you stay here a long time and help in Detroit’s transformation. I’m part of BIKE DEARBORN and we have travelled along most of the routes you are showing in this video. Detroit just got lucky with you.
Thats very kind of you to say! I'm happy to be part of the community. I haven't been able to go on the Slow Roll yet as it conflicts with my daughter's bed time, but it's on my list for sure. I look forward to getting more involved as I get a bit more settled. For now I will do what I can to use my channel to encourage and support what I can.
While it's not odd, it is Google after all, I'm just now starting to see simple, relatively unedited cycling videos of people in the U.S. on RUclips, including Metro Detroit. I've seen more edited/produced videos (Fly Scout Ryder and Gravel Cyclist come to mind, of tours of Detroit/ surrounding areas from the past). Also seeing simple commutes around the U.S. (like the PNW). Don't know why just now and why it's taken this long for such videos to appear in my homepage feed a little bit more regularly. I think the Google and RUclips search is shall I say rather bad compared to years ago. I'm pretty sure I've searched a bit over the years but the search results have been a little lacking. Google and RUclips are decent for simple searches but not great. It can admittedly probably be hard to engineer, I imagine, a good search engine, in an age where there is SO much content on a GIANT platform. You'll see some search results and then they'll show you unrelated results in RUclips...it's like....no...I don't want this..unrelated completely to my search...BAD RUclips. Anyways, one of your videos appeared in my home RUclips feed in the past few weeks. Riding into Downtown Detroit via Michigan Ave. on a weekend summer morning into the sunrise is a nice ride. I usually enter MI. Ave. around the Cent. library. Not that dangerous to be honest. Especially on a Sunday morning and with a rear view mirror if you want to keep tabs on who's behind you.
I have seen tons of your bike content too. It was cool seeing you riding through Mexican Town. I just read the other day that DCFC bought land right in the middle of the area that you were biking in - so the vitality of a new professional soccer stadium is coming to your area soon!
God bless you for being a part, in your own way, of the resurgence of my city and for shining a positive light on it. I've been all over the country and the only other city I ever got the same vibe from as Detroit was New Orleans. Idk, there's something about those old French cities that just has a certain something about them that I don't get anywhere else. I might be biased because I'm from Detroit, but I'm also a realist and while we have a lot to do still, Detroit is a fabulous place to be right now. Cost of living is low, especially if you're resourceful, but even with that cost of living being low it's not like you're deprived of any of the comforts and luxuries of a major city and you can get jobs that pay just as much as many areas that have higher costs of living. You can literally buy a mansion in Michigan for the price of a crappy house in San Diego, and to me, I'll take Winter + a mansion WITH ACREAGE over 70 degrees every day and a bungalow. Michigan is hands down one of the most beautiful states and we have massive intra-state tourism (we all vacation IN our home state) and you couldn't possibly ask for much more if you're an avid outdoors person. The West side of Michigan is one of the country's best kept secrets and I will say, your point about Detroit not catering to young families is fair, especially when it comes to grocery stores but it's an issue people are definitely aware of. But you can just tangibly SEE the progress Detroit has made, especially as someone who's lived here basically all of my adult life. And the food is world class, whether you want cheap street food or fine dining or anything in between. Being such a diverse area culturally, it's not surprising but goddamn the food in Detroit is so underrated.
Welcome to Detroit. I’ve been riding religiously around Detroit sense 2011. I’ve watch it change from two wheels ever sense then. LOVE watching it revive & thrive. I remember Brush Park was empty, now it’s full of new life. There are so many different group rides that go through out the city. GREAT video. Thanks for sharing.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!!!! Istg Detroiters and New Yorkers are one and the same. Native Michigander here and I always feel that New York energy there and have been saying this forever and I'm glad someone else has pointed out how similar those two groups are in energy level.
St. Ann’s is the oldest church in Detroit with the oldest stain glass in the state. It’s the second consecutively running Catholic Church in America the oldest is in Puerto Rico. You want to know it’s history we should meet up. I know it’s history better than most families been here before the cars. We go way back
I've lived in a lot of major cities and always thought Detroit and New York had the same kind of feel. It's interesting to hear other people think that as well. People don't remember but New York in the 80's was a complete disaster like Detroit was 10-15 years ago.
I live in Detroit, we love it, such an interesting city, very diverse, great things happening after all the hardship, incredible history, lots of development, Canada is right here, really nice people…very bike friendly in many places,
Thanks for the bike tour of Detroit. I grew up there in the 50s and 60s when the city, for many reasons, was heading towards rock bottom. Many of the places you visited have a lot of sentimental value for me. I know that many Detroiters are proud that the city is opening a new chapter. There is a lot to do in Michigan. I wish you success!
Thank you so much for showing our city in a more realistic light. No city is perfect, and Detroit has certainly had it's fair share of problems, but it has some real heart and things are looking up!
This is exactly what the city needs, we need more cool young people to move here! it's become a fantastic place to live. We're hardened, here in detroit.
We spent a week in Detroit this summer. I feel like we did so much and barely scratched the surface. It's a fantastic city! So much great food and super nice people. Michigan Central Station was just one of the many "wow" moments. And I think we brought the Tigers good luck!
As someone from Detroit I’m loving all the Detroit videos on RUclips lately with people spreading positivity and saying how surprised they were by the city. The only people that speak ill of Detroit are those who haven’t been here
Wow, what a great documentary on the city of my youth. I grew up in Detroit during the 1970s. I was there during that entire decade from 1970 to 1979 when I graduated from high school. I also came to Detroit from New York, New Rochelle to be exact. I visited Detroit about 6 years ago one summer and was blown away by I lot of what you showed in the video, but many of the neighborhoods were still in major disrepair. Being a cyclist myself it would be interesting to see the city by bike and to ride past some of the old neighborhoods where my family used to live. It's great to see that Detroit has made such a significant turn around. I used to hate living there. I was depressed the entire time I lived there. The city was an outward demonstration of what was residing in my soul, chaos and depression. Now its full of hope and youthful energy. I want go back and have an adventure and reclaim and redeem some of my youth there. Thanks for such a whimsical journey you took us on. It spoke to me in places I can't quite convey.
Wow Marc! Thank you for sharing this! I hope this was a healing experience and I encourage you to grab a bike and do the same. Maybe it will give you a different perspective on your past and how it shaped your future.
Really enjoyed this video. Detroit receives so much negative press and it’s usually from people who never visits. It’s a beautiful city and lots of cool things to do.
Been watching the refurbishing of Detroit since around 2000. When the Superbowl was held here in Detroit, in 2005, there was a big influx of money and energy from a couple of years prior in preparation for it and that was the palpable moment you could feel the change really happening. It is a vibrant, cool city and I am so happy all of this has happened. I was born here. We haven't heard anyone say Detroit is depressing and dangerous in a very, very long time.
NO we haven’t accept from some content creators on RUclips THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE and REHASHING the OLD NEWS of OUR PAST and surprising to ME NOT the people I would expect to hear it said from 😒
I can't wait for Centennial park and the Gordie Howe bridge to open. Having nice mostly-separated-traffic routes from my house in Springwells to both downtown and Windsor is going to be so nice
I grew up here and have spent many hours in many of these places, and this video just watching you ride around and talk about it made me so proud. Detroit has made such a great comeback, and people need to stop talking negatively about it. Detroit has worked hard, and it is paying off! Thank you so much for doing this❤ I got on my stationary bike while watching this, and it felt like I was riding along seeing it through your eyes!
This was pretty fascinating. The architecture in Detroit never ceases to amaze me. And it's cool how much bike infrastructure is being put in. I've always enjoyed the little amounts of time I've spent in Detroit.
Thank you for this. Detroit is a great city these days and I wish more would understand that. Every large city has issues, but Detroit is pretty good nowadays.
lived in Metro Detroit my whole life. Worked Downtown for a while. Over the years its gotten so much better. I loved working Downtown. Gives you a big city feel with NONE of the crowds of people. its a great feeling honestly. And I've always wanted to visit the train station. Grew up seeing it abandon in the distance thinking it was so cool. They did a great job with it. Need to take a trip over there myself to check it out. Looks gorgeous in the fog 0:15
You did what they would have said could not be done. You showed how it's really not that hard to get around many cities by bike, even in the "Motor City". And you showed how getting around by bike can be more interesting than encapsulated inside a car.
I’ve been seeing more and more videos showcasing Detroit lately and I love it. When my Wife and I first began dating she came here with a certain image in her head and Detroit was definitely not what she thought it would be. She instantly fell in love with Detroit and said people were gonna start moving here (especially from the East Coast) . Love the video! And also….love the bikes.
We float (Onewheel) all over Detroit weekly. I love Detroit and always have. Grew up going to raves and skateboarding, and a lot of my friends went to CCS in the 90s. Detroit is GREAT!
Used to only come here to watch my team play in the old Tiger Stadium (which wasnt in a great area). There wasnt much else to do in Detroit. But ever since they started moving all the sports teams downtown, that area has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY better (both sports and non-sports wise)
I grew up in Detroit. Specifically around Amherst and Junction st. The area you biked in the beginning of this video is what I grew up calling "The beginning of Downtown". Also Detroit has been working harder over the past 10 years (at least) on renovating. An building back better and stronger than ever before. Hence why you see more construction and less run down buildings. I loved living in Detroit and will be moving back one day. As you'll never meet a stronger and more helpful community than you can there.
Not true. Detroit (populated by the current ethnicity) has NOT been working harder over the past 10 years on renovating. Those changes are made by the ethnic population that built this city but was attacked in violent riots.
@@detectivewaffle You must address ethnicity because everything that happened in Detroit didn’t happen on its own; it was caused by this particular ethnicity. Don’t hide it. Speak the truth about these violent historical events. Otherwise, what you say is misleading, and it becomes a racial lie.
Detroit is the only us city from which you can travel south into Canada. If you start building e-bikes consider doing something like the Riese and Muller you ride but add a tilting tadpole front end like Max and Maleon. The locking front end will make low speed maneuvers while loaded easier. Add a front recumbent tandem for the adaptive crowd like the Hase Pino. You’ll propel the bike world forward for sure.
It's refreshing to see this view of Detroit! also comforting to see you don't have to lock your bike down as much compared to other cities and I hope it stays that way. I've only visited family there in the past but never rode my bike there, something I'll have to change soon I hope!
I am so amazed at how far we have come as a city. I grew up in the 80s/90s. There were many areas you would never go too. You never stopped at a red light back then. There are still gritty areas of course. Probably no different than New York.
Thank you for this! Not saying bad things don’t happen here. They happen everywhere! If you don’t bother anyone and stay away from shady areas you will be fine here like most places.
Welcome to Detroit! We are the Best! I love my city. Best in diverse communities, housing, jobs. I would recommend if you ever wanted to live someone 1 time in your life pick Detroit.
Detroit looks like it’s in the upswing, might have to check it soon. You did a good job showcasing the cool and interesting things going on there. Best of luck with your new start there
Chris. Congrats on your move to my hometown Detroit! Haven't been back in a number of years so it looks like it time for a visit and bring my R&M e-bike with me. I remember running the Detroit Marathon in 1984. (Yes, I'm that old.) We started in Windsor, ran through the tunnel to Detroit, north on Jefferson Ave. to almost St. Clair Shores and looped back and finished on Belle Isle. Happy Holidays!
Thank for the excellent bike tour of Detroit. Prior to my retirement 10 years ago, I worked in the social service field running community centers. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I had a bike in my office and had a great time traveling in the very areas you showed. There were no bike paths back then and it was unusual to see other bikers. One of the best things was that my office was about a 15-minute bike ride from Downtown. I could ride downtown for many meetings with funders or city officials and get some great exercise while saving a ton of money in parking fees. No one ever bothered my bike. Detroit has made incredible strides since then. It is becoming a really cool place. All the hard work that many wonderful people did with little, or no recognition is now starting to show results. As you alluded to, if you are creative, Detroit is definitely the place to be.
me too. we used to bike in those areas in 70s-80s … and had lots of “nice things to say about Detroit” back the as well … glad to see you so enthused !
i find it great to see how much it has rebounded from its low in 2008-2009, also to see how the Midwest overall is making a comeback. from Minneapolis to Scranton there has been a lot of improvement.
Back in the late 90's I turned my friend on to cycling- we both lived in Indian Village and she worked in development for Detroit. Well all these years later I learned it was she who was pivotal in getting the bike lanes for us. She is still at it, making Detroit more bicycle friendly and better in general. I'm looking forward to riding over the new Gordy Howe bridge into Canada this Summer! Its supposed to connect to 1000 miles of bike trails in Ontario. For you I recommend a ride to Wyandotte. Follow Jefferson west out of downtown you have to hop onto fort st. For a sec, left on Clark st and then you are back on Jefferson all the way to Wyandotte. Some nice riverfront parks along the way, old Fort Wayne, industrial Del Rey, Zug Island and more.
The wide empty roads are relics of when Detroit had a population of nearly two million vs. the current population of around 800 thousand (or fewer?). I recently read that many of those roads were built with the expectation that Detroit would grow to five million people. Speaking of breweries in the Eastside warehouse district check out Brewery Faisan if you like Belgian style ales.
Mobility matters. Bicycles matter. Electric busses matter. Electric trains matter. Safe protected bike and bus lanes are necessary for efficient transport. Children should be able to ride bicycles or take a bus to school safely. Cities need to provide multiple options for transportation. Less cars, more buses, more bicycles. Staying active is key. There is a climate crisis. We need to make walking, cycling, using escooters and taking a bus easier and the default option for most people. Ebikes are brinigng many older adults back to cycling and the benefits of exercise.
Couldn't agree more - cities need to make it easier and safer to choose bikes and public transportation! Detroit is surprisingly making a good start but they have a ways to go. I hope we can encourage an increase in more modes.
You mean downtown,MI is the place to be. How is Detroit the place to be when it's nothing here it's all downtown for whites and Wayne State students. Detroit is 90 percent black no way anyone is building anything in the city, they will only build where the white people are which is downtown area
I biked everywhere in Detroit in the 90s until the early 2010s. It started when my dad told me that as a kid, he would ride from 7 mile to Bel Isle. Seeing this video warms my heart.
Excellent! I grew up in Detroit in the 1950s. My neighborhood was called the university district. It’s by the University of Detroit. It’s from Livernois to Woodward and seven mile to six mile. Great neighborhood then and it still is; old mostly brick homes. My dad was a plumbing and heating business owner. There were lots of doctors, lawyers and professors who were I neighbors. I babysat fir some if them. A few Detroit mayors lived in our neighborhood and went to our Catholic Church there; GESU.
In the early nineties, I was on a church trip to Michigan, and we were dropped off at the "mall" at the Renaissance Center. For two and a half hours. I vaguely remember there being some sort of delay before we could get back on the bus and go to Windsor. 2.5 hours in the Renaissance Center is way too much time in the Renaissance Center as a fourteen year old.
Yeah I could see feeling a bit let down I'd that was my only impression of Detroit. GM is actually moving out of the Renaissance center and they’re trying to figure out what they’re gonna do with it. I hope they convert some of the buildings to apartments that definitely seems to be a need for more apartments. It’s already getting pretty costly to get a place close to downtown.
You will get a lot of views if you ride your bike down 7 mile after dark. I’m Proud to be from Detroit area. Doing better than most large cities overall. Thanks for the vid. P.S. don’t ride your bike down 7 mile. ❤
Lifelong Detroiter here - born and raised in Southwest Detroit (Mexicantown - Vernon and Junction). Moved away in my 30s - 40s and lived in Brush Park prior to the rebirth (circa 2006-2012). Bittersweet to move away as things got exciting but it became too expensive. Great to visit every month to take in a game or show. Locals want others to say nice things about Detroit. Thank you for doing so!
I’ve only been to the Detroit area for the NAIAS or for work, mostly Clinton Township or Livonia. Because of that, I’d never considered Detroit as a biking-friendly place. I’m happy to see the rejuvenation of the city. Some places I’d through over the past couple decades definitely looked as if they were struggling. I definitely will be putting Detroit on my list of places to cycle tour now because of you. So, thank you for making and posting this video tour, and thank you for working on Bloom to resurrect domestic manufacturing for the bicycle industry! Detroit and other cities like Dayton were once huge hubs for bicycle manufacturing. It would be wonderful if they are again.
I appreciate you being here. You seem like a smart individual that will help my city get back to its roots. Fish are fine to eat in Detroit River. I wouldn’t eat them every day either and I would stick to like perch and walleye, but that’s lake Saint Clair fish. Lake Saint Clair has its problems with E. coli here and there because of the way our state releases brown water, but I’ve eaten fish out of both lake St. Clair and Detroit River close to every year of my life. We need more smart people like you in the city to show the world and teaching people people on what it has to offer. I appreciate you dude.
I live right next to Belle Isle. If you're looking for a more nature-y ride, the road that circles is a little over 5 miles long. In the mornings except maybe in the summer on the weekends there is hardly anyone there and you really feel like you could be far away from the city. I feel like I'm a half urban, half rural type person so it's been a lifeline for me. Forgot to mention, the beach is very long, clean, and safe! I'm there most days in the summer and never saw any drama at all, just people having fun.
Very well done. I work in the city, have lived there as well. You showcased many of the great things about the city that people only see when they show up. Thank you for this video.
It was nice to see Evie's Tamales! I use to eat there a lot when I worked downtown. I was born at Harper Hospital and grew up in Detroit, and I think right now is about the best I've seen it. Jason Hall is an awesome guy, and I used to do the rides with him until I changed jobs and schedules.
I’ve lived in Detroit suburbia all my life and have worked in the Michigan outdoor recreation space for the last 10+ years. I’m an avid cyclist and have been extremely excited for all the cycling infrastructure that has been created over the past few years! The Detroit Greenways Coalition has been some of the biggest movers and shakers for it. The new Joe Louis Greenway is going to be connecting the Trans Canada Trail and the Iron Belle Trail. They also have free maps of all the Detroit bike lanes. The Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance has maps for a good portion of the cycling trails in Michigan.
Thank you for showcasing our city, in such a beautiful light. It’s devastating to hear how the rest world views Detroit. You have a new follower. Love to learn more about your business
I used to live out in Woodbridge and your bike route brought back memories of the routes I took all around the city. Glad to see another bike rider in the city! If you haven't checked it out yet, Back Alley Bikes down on Cass Avenue has a good event in the winter called bike the blizzard.
Hard to put into words why but this is probably one of if not the best videos on Detroit I've seen. It's not the best of Detroit it's not the worst of Detroit it's just a great perspective
It's the real Detroit
This means a lot as a newcomer to Detroit. I wanted to do it justice as I feel the picture I initially got online is not consistent with my experience
Pretty cool that you're the ceo of a bike company and you've decided to live without a car in detroit! I'm a lifelong detroiter and know that can't be easy. The bike infrastructure has come a long long way, and it's getting better and better!! Thanks for coming to the city
Thanks! It's not too bad, but it can be challenging when I need to go outside of the city, but otherwise I fair pretty well

You totally should!! We'd love to have you!
Good do that I encourage you to
Thank you for the positive vibe. I was born in the "D" and have lived in it's suburbs ever since. I've seen the worst to what is now it's best.

Hope you stay here a long time and help in Detroit’s transformation. I’m part of BIKE DEARBORN and we have travelled along most of the routes you are showing in this video. Detroit just got lucky with you.
Thats very kind of you to say! I'm happy to be part of the community. I haven't been able to go on the Slow Roll yet as it conflicts with my daughter's bed time, but it's on my list for sure. I look forward to getting more involved as I get a bit more settled. For now I will do what I can to use my channel to encourage and support what I can.
While it's not odd, it is Google after all, I'm just now starting to see simple, relatively unedited cycling videos of people in the U.S. on RUclips, including Metro Detroit. I've seen more edited/produced videos (Fly Scout Ryder and Gravel Cyclist come to mind, of tours of Detroit/ surrounding areas from the past). Also seeing simple commutes around the U.S. (like the PNW). Don't know why just now and why it's taken this long for such videos to appear in my homepage feed a little bit more regularly. I think the Google and RUclips search is shall I say rather bad compared to years ago. I'm pretty sure I've searched a bit over the years but the search results have been a little lacking. Google and RUclips are decent for simple searches but not great. It can admittedly probably be hard to engineer, I imagine, a good search engine, in an age where there is SO much content on a GIANT platform. You'll see some search results and then they'll show you unrelated results in RUclips...it's like....no...I don't want this..unrelated completely to my search...BAD RUclips.
Anyways, one of your videos appeared in my home RUclips feed in the past few weeks.
Riding into Downtown Detroit via Michigan Ave. on a weekend summer morning into the sunrise is a nice ride. I usually enter MI. Ave. around the Cent. library. Not that dangerous to be honest. Especially on a Sunday morning and with a rear view mirror if you want to keep tabs on who's behind you.
@@EBR846 You are right - Google is losing it's edge.
I have seen tons of your bike content too. It was cool seeing you riding through Mexican Town. I just read the other day that DCFC bought land right in the middle of the area that you were biking in - so the vitality of a new professional soccer stadium is coming to your area soon!
God bless you for being a part, in your own way, of the resurgence of my city and for shining a positive light on it. I've been all over the country and the only other city I ever got the same vibe from as Detroit was New Orleans. Idk, there's something about those old French cities that just has a certain something about them that I don't get anywhere else. I might be biased because I'm from Detroit, but I'm also a realist and while we have a lot to do still, Detroit is a fabulous place to be right now. Cost of living is low, especially if you're resourceful, but even with that cost of living being low it's not like you're deprived of any of the comforts and luxuries of a major city and you can get jobs that pay just as much as many areas that have higher costs of living. You can literally buy a mansion in Michigan for the price of a crappy house in San Diego, and to me, I'll take Winter + a mansion WITH ACREAGE over 70 degrees every day and a bungalow. Michigan is hands down one of the most beautiful states and we have massive intra-state tourism (we all vacation IN our home state) and you couldn't possibly ask for much more if you're an avid outdoors person. The West side of Michigan is one of the country's best kept secrets and I will say, your point about Detroit not catering to young families is fair, especially when it comes to grocery stores but it's an issue people are definitely aware of. But you can just tangibly SEE the progress Detroit has made, especially as someone who's lived here basically all of my adult life. And the food is world class, whether you want cheap street food or fine dining or anything in between. Being such a diverse area culturally, it's not surprising but goddamn the food in Detroit is so underrated.
Detroit Has Alot Going For It. 💯
Welcome to Detroit. I’ve been riding religiously around Detroit sense 2011. I’ve watch it change from two wheels ever sense then. LOVE watching it revive & thrive. I remember Brush Park was empty, now it’s full of new life. There are so many different group rides that go through out the city. GREAT video. Thanks for sharing.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!!!! Istg Detroiters and New Yorkers are one and the same. Native Michigander here and I always feel that New York energy there and have been saying this forever and I'm glad someone else has pointed out how similar those two groups are in energy level.
It's so important to me to share that type of energy. I haven't found it in all places I have lived
@@PropelbikesDetroit and NYC have always been sister cities. Not as much with Chicago.
Also feel that way my son just moved out of area he is biking in and is in New York now there’s some of same vibes
St. Ann’s is the oldest church in Detroit with the oldest stain glass in the state. It’s the second consecutively running Catholic Church in America the oldest is in Puerto Rico. You want to know it’s history we should meet up. I know it’s history better than most families been here before the cars. We go way back
I've lived in a lot of major cities and always thought Detroit and New York had the same kind of feel. It's interesting to hear other people think that as well. People don't remember but New York in the 80's was a complete disaster like Detroit was 10-15 years ago.
I live in Detroit, we love it, such an interesting city, very diverse, great things happening after all the hardship, incredible history, lots of development, Canada is right here, really nice people…very bike friendly in many places,
Hearing you say "Brush Park is one of the more desirable areas of Detroit" is a trip. Thanks for promoting our city!
It is such a trip. Brush Park was bleak and scary for such a long time.
@@marktherutherford yes not bleak now, a total metamorphosis
From underdeveloped to underdeveloped😮.
@ tons of development going on all over , might want to open the eyes a little bit
I miss the BMX park and DIY Skatepark.
I live in Ohio and have never spent time in Detroit. I may look at Detroit a little more closely in the future. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the bike tour of Detroit. I grew up there in the 50s and 60s when the city, for many reasons, was heading towards rock bottom. Many of the places you visited have a lot of sentimental value for me. I know that many Detroiters are proud that the city is opening a new chapter. There is a lot to do in Michigan. I wish you success!
Thank you so much for showing our city in a more realistic light. No city is perfect, and Detroit has certainly had it's fair share of problems, but it has some real heart and things are looking up!
This is exactly what the city needs, we need more cool young people to move here! it's become a fantastic place to live. We're hardened, here in detroit.
We spent a week in Detroit this summer. I feel like we did so much and barely scratched the surface. It's a fantastic city! So much great food and super nice people. Michigan Central Station was just one of the many "wow" moments. And I think we brought the Tigers good luck!
You spent a week in Detroit????? Vacation or hospital recovery after a mugging?
As someone from Detroit I’m loving all the Detroit videos on RUclips lately with people spreading positivity and saying how surprised they were by the city. The only people that speak ill of Detroit are those who haven’t been here
Wow, what a great documentary on the city of my youth. I grew up in Detroit during the 1970s. I was there during that entire decade from 1970 to 1979 when I graduated from high school. I also came to Detroit from New York, New Rochelle to be exact. I visited Detroit about 6 years ago one summer and was blown away by I lot of what you showed in the video, but many of the neighborhoods were still in major disrepair. Being a cyclist myself it would be interesting to see the city by bike and to ride past some of the old neighborhoods where my family used to live. It's great to see that Detroit has made such a significant turn around. I used to hate living there. I was depressed the entire time I lived there. The city was an outward demonstration of what was residing in my soul, chaos and depression. Now its full of hope and youthful energy. I want go back and have an adventure and reclaim and redeem some of my youth there. Thanks for such a whimsical journey you took us on. It spoke to me in places I can't quite convey.
Wow Marc! Thank you for sharing this! I hope this was a healing experience and I encourage you to grab a bike and do the same. Maybe it will give you a different perspective on your past and how it shaped your future.
Really enjoyed this video. Detroit receives so much negative press and it’s usually from people who never visits. It’s a beautiful city and lots of cool things to do.
Been watching the refurbishing of Detroit since around 2000. When the Superbowl was held here in Detroit, in 2005, there was a big influx of money and energy from a couple of years prior in preparation for it and that was the palpable moment you could feel the change really happening. It is a vibrant, cool city and I am so happy all of this has happened. I was born here. We haven't heard anyone say Detroit is depressing and dangerous in a very, very long time.
NO we haven’t accept from some content creators on RUclips THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE and REHASHING the OLD NEWS of OUR PAST and surprising to ME NOT the people I would expect to hear it said from 😒
Because youre not listening.
@@brucebeamon5460 Keep telling yourself that when you are recovering from a robbery.
I've been coming to Detroit from Windsor for years. It's remarkable how it has changed for the better in the last 10 years or so.
I can't wait for Centennial park and the Gordie Howe bridge to open. Having nice mostly-separated-traffic routes from my house in Springwells to both downtown and Windsor is going to be so nice
Gordie Howe Bridge ruined my neighborhood pour Delray
@@MichiganMade don't kid yourself it wasn't that good of an area i get you probably lived there but it was no Indian Village
I grew up here and have spent many hours in many of these places, and this video just watching you ride around and talk about it made me so proud. Detroit has made such a great comeback, and people need to stop talking negatively about it. Detroit has worked hard, and it is paying off! Thank you so much for doing this❤
I got on my stationary bike while watching this, and it felt like I was riding along seeing it through your eyes!
This was pretty fascinating. The architecture in Detroit never ceases to amaze me. And it's cool how much bike infrastructure is being put in. I've always enjoyed the little amounts of time I've spent in Detroit.
I'm a lifelong Detroiter and have biked around the city for decades. This is a really great tour and a good summary. Thank you!
Thank you for this. Detroit is a great city these days and I wish more would understand that. Every large city has issues, but Detroit is pretty good nowadays.
lived in Metro Detroit my whole life. Worked Downtown for a while. Over the years its gotten so much better. I loved working Downtown. Gives you a big city feel with NONE of the crowds of people. its a great feeling honestly. And I've always wanted to visit the train station. Grew up seeing it abandon in the distance thinking it was so cool. They did a great job with it. Need to take a trip over there myself to check it out. Looks gorgeous in the fog 0:15
You did what they would have said could not be done. You showed how it's really not that hard to get around many cities by bike, even in the "Motor City". And you showed how getting around by bike can be more interesting than encapsulated inside a car.
I'm inspired and encouraged by people like you. Thank you for doing what you do Ted!
WOW! Detroit seems really focused on bettering it's future. Love this!
I’ve been seeing more and more videos showcasing Detroit lately and I love it. When my Wife and I first began dating she came here with a certain image in her head and Detroit was definitely not what she thought it would be. She instantly fell in love with Detroit and said people were gonna start moving here (especially from the East Coast) . Love the video! And also….love the bikes.
Detroit is a very bicycle friendly town💙
Its definitely getting there
Great video! Welcome to Detroit. This is a Great City to start your company. Thank you for bringing your business to our City. 😊
We float (Onewheel) all over Detroit weekly. I love Detroit and always have. Grew up going to raves and skateboarding, and a lot of my friends went to CCS in the 90s. Detroit is GREAT!
Used to only come here to watch my team play in the old Tiger Stadium (which wasnt in a great area). There wasnt much else to do in Detroit. But ever since they started moving all the sports teams downtown, that area has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY better (both sports and non-sports wise)
I grew up in Detroit. Specifically around Amherst and Junction st.
The area you biked in the beginning of this video is what I grew up calling "The beginning of Downtown". Also Detroit has been working harder over the past 10 years (at least) on renovating. An building back better and stronger than ever before. Hence why you see more construction and less run down buildings.
I loved living in Detroit and will be moving back one day. As you'll never meet a stronger and more helpful community than you can there.
Not true. Detroit (populated by the current ethnicity) has NOT been working harder over the past 10 years on renovating. Those changes are made by the ethnic population that built this city but was attacked in violent riots.
@camouflageartist8897 Why bring ethnicity into this? I said DETROIT, not a specific ethnicity.
@@detectivewaffle You must address ethnicity because everything that happened in Detroit didn’t happen on its own; it was caused by this particular ethnicity. Don’t hide it. Speak the truth about these violent historical events. Otherwise, what you say is misleading, and it becomes a racial lie.
you're one the reason why folks of different "ethnicities " will never bridge the gap. smh
Detroit is the only us city from which you can travel south into Canada. If you start building e-bikes consider doing something like the Riese and Muller you ride but add a tilting tadpole front end like Max and Maleon. The locking front end will make low speed maneuvers while loaded easier. Add a front recumbent tandem for the adaptive crowd like the Hase Pino. You’ll propel the bike world forward for sure.
Thanks! Pretty soon you'll be able to ride your bike to Canada across the new bridge
It's refreshing to see this view of Detroit! also comforting to see you don't have to lock your bike down as much compared to other cities and I hope it stays that way.
I've only visited family there in the past but never rode my bike there, something I'll have to change soon I hope!
I love Detroit and hope to move to Detroit soon
Lived in Detroit for all of my 38 years. Never thought I’d hear anyone say this.
Enjoy Michigan! Beautiful state beautiful people
Thanks! I've been enjoying it so far!
I am so amazed at how far we have come as a city. I grew up in the 80s/90s. There were many areas you would never go too. You never stopped at a red light back then. There are still gritty areas of course. Probably no different than New York.
That’s a great perspective I’m glad to see the city is moving in the right direction.
The was a race replacement. That's what happened.
Definitely rooting for detroit. Getting to peak population of 1950 and addition of more trains/public transit would be amazing!
Detroit has a lot of potential it has good bones.
Agreed!
Detroit was built by certain ethnicity that was kicked out of the city they built in violent riots.
Thank you for this! Not saying bad things don’t happen here. They happen everywhere! If you don’t bother anyone and stay away from shady areas you will be fine here like most places.
Welcome to Detroit! We are the Best! I love my city. Best in diverse communities, housing, jobs. I would recommend if you ever wanted to live someone 1 time in your life pick Detroit.
Hi from Florida. I like Michigan alot. It's a beautiful state.
Detroit looks like it’s in the upswing, might have to check it soon. You did a good job showcasing the cool and interesting things going on there. Best of luck with your new start there
It definitely has a lot of great things happening and I feel good about the direction it's going in.
Welcome to Detroit dude. For just having moved here you’re already a local. I’m sure I’ll see you out on 2 wheels one of these days.
Great video. so glad Detroit is coming back. I live in Windsor and had no idea this was going on. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Coming back???? Dont hold your breath
Chris. Congrats on your move to my hometown Detroit! Haven't been back in a number of years so it looks like it time for a visit and bring my R&M e-bike with me. I remember running the Detroit Marathon in 1984. (Yes, I'm that old.) We started in Windsor, ran through the tunnel to Detroit, north on Jefferson Ave. to almost St. Clair Shores and looped back and finished on Belle Isle. Happy Holidays!
Feel like I had a nice ride in Detroit. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Now, the electric motor city!
Definitely moving in that direction
Welcome to Michigan
Thanks! It's been a warm welcome so far!
Thank for the excellent bike tour of Detroit. Prior to my retirement 10 years ago, I worked in the social service field running community centers. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I had a bike in my office and had a great time traveling in the very areas you showed. There were no bike paths back then and it was unusual to see other bikers. One of the best things was that my office was about a 15-minute bike ride from Downtown. I could ride downtown for many meetings with funders or city officials and get some great exercise while saving a ton of money in parking fees. No one ever bothered my bike. Detroit has made incredible strides since then. It is becoming a really cool place. All the hard work that many wonderful people did with little, or no recognition is now starting to show results. As you alluded to, if you are creative, Detroit is definitely the place to be.
me too. we used to bike in those areas in 70s-80s … and had lots of “nice things to say about Detroit” back the as well … glad to see you so enthused !
Thank you for your great video of our city, hope you love it here as much as I do!
Great video my friend love seeing the city in a positive light. Welcome to Detroit we are glad to have you.
i find it great to see how much it has rebounded from its low in 2008-2009, also to see how the Midwest overall is making a comeback. from Minneapolis to Scranton there has been a lot of improvement.
it's also amazing how you never ran out of breath
Back in the late 90's I turned my friend on to cycling- we both lived in Indian Village and she worked in development for Detroit. Well all these years later I learned it was she who was pivotal in getting the bike lanes for us. She is still at it, making Detroit more bicycle friendly and better in general. I'm looking forward to riding over the new Gordy Howe bridge into Canada this Summer! Its supposed to connect to 1000 miles of bike trails in Ontario. For you I recommend a ride to Wyandotte. Follow Jefferson west out of downtown you have to hop onto fort st. For a sec, left on Clark st and then you are back on Jefferson all the way to Wyandotte. Some nice riverfront parks along the way, old Fort Wayne, industrial Del Rey, Zug Island and more.
The wide empty roads are relics of when Detroit had a population of nearly two million vs. the current population of around 800 thousand (or fewer?). I recently read that many of those roads were built with the expectation that Detroit would grow to five million people.
Speaking of breweries in the Eastside warehouse district check out Brewery Faisan if you like Belgian style ales.
Pop is like 650k iirc. Just went up for the first time in 70 years!
@@tomrogue13 yep. I live in detroit and 650k is accurate
@tomrogue13 For selfish reasons, I do not want the population to grow pass 1 million. Then it becomes a population mess like NY
Mobility matters. Bicycles matter. Electric busses matter. Electric trains matter.
Safe protected bike and bus lanes are necessary for efficient transport.
Children should be able to ride bicycles or take a bus to school safely.
Cities need to provide multiple options for transportation. Less cars, more buses, more bicycles. Staying active is key.
There is a climate crisis. We need to make walking, cycling, using escooters and taking a bus easier and the default option for most people.
Ebikes are brinigng many older adults back to cycling and the benefits of exercise.
Couldn't agree more - cities need to make it easier and safer to choose bikes and public transportation! Detroit is surprisingly making a good start but they have a ways to go. I hope we can encourage an increase in more modes.
Detroit is the place to be.
You mean downtown,MI is the place to be. How is Detroit the place to be when it's nothing here it's all downtown for whites and Wayne State students. Detroit is 90 percent black no way anyone is building anything in the city, they will only build where the white people are which is downtown area
such a thoughtful way to “say nice things about Detroit”.
Look forward to following you and hearing your stories …
Good luck with the new company, it sounds very worthwhile. And thanks for the enlightening video.
Thanks, we’re very excited about the future!
I biked everywhere in Detroit in the 90s until the early 2010s. It started when my dad told me that as a kid, he would ride from 7 mile to Bel Isle. Seeing this video warms my heart.
DETROIT is awesome ❤
Excellent! I grew up in Detroit in the 1950s. My neighborhood was called the university district. It’s by the University of Detroit. It’s from Livernois to Woodward and seven mile to six mile. Great neighborhood then and it still is; old mostly brick homes. My dad was a plumbing and heating business owner. There were lots of doctors, lawyers and professors who were I neighbors. I babysat fir some if them. A few Detroit mayors lived in our neighborhood and went to our Catholic Church there; GESU.
In the early nineties, I was on a church trip to Michigan, and we were dropped off at the "mall" at the Renaissance Center. For two and a half hours.
I vaguely remember there being some sort of delay before we could get back on the bus and go to Windsor. 2.5 hours in the Renaissance Center is way too much time in the Renaissance Center as a fourteen year old.
Yeah I could see feeling a bit let down I'd that was my only impression of Detroit. GM is actually moving out of the Renaissance center and they’re trying to figure out what they’re gonna do with it. I hope they convert some of the buildings to apartments that definitely seems to be a need for more apartments. It’s already getting pretty costly to get a place close to downtown.
Wow!!!! Amazing city...
You will get a lot of views if you ride your bike down 7 mile after dark. I’m Proud to be from Detroit area. Doing better than most large cities overall. Thanks for the vid. P.S. don’t ride your bike down 7 mile. ❤
Lifelong Detroiter here - born and raised in Southwest Detroit (Mexicantown - Vernon and Junction). Moved away in my 30s - 40s and lived in Brush Park prior to the rebirth (circa 2006-2012). Bittersweet to move away as things got exciting but it became too expensive. Great to visit every month to take in a game or show. Locals want others to say nice things about Detroit. Thank you for doing so!
I’ve only been to the Detroit area for the NAIAS or for work, mostly Clinton Township or Livonia. Because of that, I’d never considered Detroit as a biking-friendly place.
I’m happy to see the rejuvenation of the city. Some places I’d through over the past couple decades definitely looked as if they were struggling.
I definitely will be putting Detroit on my list of places to cycle tour now because of you.
So, thank you for making and posting this video tour, and thank you for working on Bloom to resurrect domestic manufacturing for the bicycle industry! Detroit and other cities like Dayton were once huge hubs for bicycle manufacturing. It would be wonderful if they are again.
As a cyclist in Metro Detroit, the cycling is surprisingly really good. Especially when compared to other major cities.
I appreciate you being here. You seem like a smart individual that will help my city get back to its roots. Fish are fine to eat in Detroit River. I wouldn’t eat them every day either and I would stick to like perch and walleye, but that’s lake Saint Clair fish. Lake Saint Clair has its problems with E. coli here and there because of the way our state releases brown water, but I’ve eaten fish out of both lake St. Clair and Detroit River close to every year of my life. We need more smart people like you in the city to show the world and teaching people people on what it has to offer. I appreciate you dude.
Co-merica -- rhymes with America -- one of the larger banks in Detroit, and bought the naming-rights to the baseball stadium. Thanks for your work!
I love when you do a video like this.
Thanks! I really enjoy these videos
What a nice view of the safer, nicer, rebuilt or being rebuilt gentrified areas and how easy it is to get around prior to all the traffic and people.
I live right next to Belle Isle. If you're looking for a more nature-y ride, the road that circles is a little over 5 miles long. In the mornings except maybe in the summer on the weekends there is hardly anyone there and you really feel like you could be far away from the city. I feel like I'm a half urban, half rural type person so it's been a lifeline for me. Forgot to mention, the beach is very long, clean, and safe! I'm there most days in the summer and never saw any drama at all, just people having fun.
Very well done. I work in the city, have lived there as well. You showcased many of the great things about the city that people only see when they show up. Thank you for this video.
It was nice to see Evie's Tamales! I use to eat there a lot when I worked downtown. I was born at Harper Hospital and grew up in Detroit, and I think right now is about the best I've seen it. Jason Hall is an awesome guy, and I used to do the rides with him until I changed jobs and schedules.
Thank you - for showing the city in a positive way. I enjoyed your tour very much!
Detroit ❤
Can’t wait to see what you find past the boulevard!!
Dead bodies and dumped cars after they were stripped.
@@kdmigloo We get it. You L O S E R S havent been to Detroit since the 90s. Please stay out we dont want negetive scaredy-cats in our city❤😂
I’ve lived in Detroit suburbia all my life and have worked in the Michigan outdoor recreation space for the last 10+ years. I’m an avid cyclist and have been extremely excited for all the cycling infrastructure that has been created over the past few years! The Detroit Greenways Coalition has been some of the biggest movers and shakers for it. The new Joe Louis Greenway is going to be connecting the Trans Canada Trail and the Iron Belle Trail. They also have free maps of all the Detroit bike lanes. The Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance has maps for a good portion of the cycling trails in Michigan.
Thank you for showcasing our city, in such a beautiful light. It’s devastating to hear how the rest world views Detroit. You have a new follower. Love to learn more about your business
Cool this is thanks yo Gretchen whitmer kudos to her
Thank you for highlighting Detroit.
This was soo awesome Chris!!! ❤ I loved seeing Detroit by bike and having your honest takes on how it is today. Will need to plan a visit!
I used to live out in Woodbridge and your bike route brought back memories of the routes I took all around the city. Glad to see another bike rider in the city! If you haven't checked it out yet, Back Alley Bikes down on Cass Avenue has a good event in the winter called bike the blizzard.
