Bike routes through Detoit???

Postby mccabeb » Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:49 pm

Does anyone know any good routs through Detroit? I'm scheduled to ride 30 miles on Thursday and would like to ride after work in Detroit if I can come up with a good route. Are there any good training routes though the city?

Brett, the main route I use is going from downtown to Belle Isle by taking Lafayette to Grand Boulevard but that's coming from downtown.

In talking with Andre and some other guys from Detroit, there are a lot of people that take Jefferson all the way up to 9 Mile in Grosse Pointe. Jefferson in Detroit is pretty busy but the cars are friendly and used to seeing cyclists. Jefferson in Grosse Pointe can get pretty busy but they're used to seeing cyclists as well. It's at least 2 lanes on each side the whole way up so there's a lot of room.

I guess it depends on where you're coming from but you can definitely get in 30 by doing a couple of loops on Belle Isle and riding up Jefferson. So either make your way there on bike or you can just drive and park at Belle Isle. Check out my review on cycling and running on belle isle.
