Biking Detroit.



On a sunny Saturday in mid-July, me and two of my best friends, Ria and Mallory, hit the streets of Detroit on two wheels for a ride that will never be forgotten.

Us girls purchased a super awesome deal through Groupon partnered with Wheelhouse Detroit for a bike ride, with rental of a comfort bike, through our favorite city - Detroit! We picked the southwest Detroit/Fort Wayne bike ride which turned out to be a four hour/15 mile ride. And we did it all the way with a huge smile on our face.

We got to see cool paintings like this:

And unique futbol "soccer" store:

Even wearing these nifty helmets, we couldn't get that happy grin off our faces.

About three fourths of the way through our ride we made a stop at Motz's Burger in southwest Detroit. Talk about an amazing and cheap burger! And the place was so cute. I love finding fun new gems in Detroit!

So much to see - so much to share - so much Detroit love.

Thanks to Wheelhouse Detroit us girls had an awesome afternoon touring our hometown city of Detroit.
