02 / The story of this place

Make time for these

You picked from two bikes: the 15-passenger party bike, which could run as a caravan of several bikes carrying over a hundred people, or the 6-seat Mini Pedaler for smaller groups. Both came with electric pedal assist and a built-in sound system, so nobody had to work too hard to keep the party going. Routes started in Corktown and wound through Downtown, Midtown and Eastern Market. After ten seasons since 2016, the owners closed bookings for 2026 while they look for a new owner for the business.

How to book and where to meet

You can't book a ride for 2026 — the owners paused operations while they look for a buyer. If it reopens, it'll likely still start from the Michigan Avenue address in Corktown. In the meantime, check out the other tours on this page if you're after a bike party in Detroit.
