Bike shops and repairs shops are popping up around Detroit.

Then there's the bike lanes and regular events like the Slow Roll where a mass of bicyclists ride around the city.

Rebecca Davis writes on NBC's website:

When you think of the Motor City, bicycles may not be the first thing that comes to mind. In recent years, however, Detroit has seen a surge in cycling interest and bike-related small businesses opening. Now, "The D" is home to one of the largest weekly community bike rides in the world.

Slow Roll Detroit, which was founded in 2010 by Detroit residents Jason Hall and Mike MacKool, meets weekly to explore different neighborhoods on their roughly 10-mile route in an effort to highlight new businesses and community projects happening around the city.
