Bike Parking at Homecoming

Posted on

We are excited that the Dearborn Homecoming Festival is coming back! Unfortunately, we will not be doing Bike Valet Parking as we did the two years prior to the Covid pandemic.

We just didn’t have the volunteer bandwidth this year to make it happen.

Despite that, there is plenty of bike parking in the are around the City’s Administrative Center, Library, and Performing Arts Center. Just be sure to bring a lock! There’s also a public repair station at the Library should you need to tighten a bolt or pump up your tires!

As a note: You’ll have to hop off your bike and walk it through the festival areas to reach the racks.

We hope to see you there!

Here is a map for your convenience! You can also check it out at www.bikedearborn.com/map

Greenfield Village Members’ Only Twilight Ride 2022

Posted on

We are excited to announce that Bike Dearborn will be at the Greenfield Village Members’ Only Twilight Bike Ride on Wednesday August 17th from 6p-8:30p.

We will be set up in the center of town not too far from the custard stand.

Why will we be there? To help you of course! We will have our tent set up and have tools to provide you with basic mechanical adjustments to make sure your experience riding around The Village is safe and enjoyable.
Some of the services we will be providing include:
– Saddle height adjustments
– Pumping up tires
– Quick brake adjustments
– Chain lube
– Flat tire repair (we will have an assortment of tubes available, but to be sure we can fix your tire, it’s best for you to provide a tube that fits your own tire) If you use one of our tubes, we do ask for a small donation to cover the cost so we may continue to provide services to others in the future.

We’ll also have some flyers with our upcoming Walk n Roll schedule and info about Bike Dearborn as well as “What Every Young Michigan Cyclist Must Know” booklets for all the kids and the adult version, “What Every Michigan Cyclist Must Know.”
These booklets have been provided by the League of Michigan Bicyclists.

Be sure to stop by as see us to say, “Hi!”
