Bike Dearborn Founder’s Statement of Cooperation with Other Bike Groups

PLEASE READ:

Getting excited for the FUTURE!!

2023 Dates for our Bike Dearborn Special Edition Rides:
– First Dozen: January 1st, 2023 1pm meet-up/ride-out 2p at Qahwah House West Dearborn

 Homecoming Ride: Saturday August 5, 2023 meet-up 9am/ride-out 10am. Location TBA

– Dearborn to Camp Dearborn Overnight Camp – June or July 2023 (pending trail construction interference)

– Every Wednesday Night at 6:30p year round as weather permits!

***It is our hope that if we get these dates out far in advance to the general public, that other area groups will be encouraged to cooperate and not schedule conflicting rides that cause confusion for members that may belong to multiple riding groups in the city. We have become disheartened by conflicting rides that force members to choose one or the other group to participate with. We use these Special Edition Rides as fundraisers for our organization. These are annually recurring events. It’s not fair to our cyclists when they have to pick and choose which event to participate in because there is another ride on the same date and even possibly at the same time as ours. Our goal should be working together to get as many people riding in Dearborn as possible…not causing conflict between groups and their members. We pride ourselves on our top notch events and our organization’s legitimacy in the City of Dearborn as we continue to advocate for better cycling in Dearborn!

We at Bike Dearborn are always open and transparent about our event planning in our group…it is open to the PUBLIC here on Facebook (Bike Dearborn -The Group) and on our website (www.bikedearborn.com). We recognize that there are other biking groups in Dearborn. We look forward to working collaboratively to promote everyone’s events.

Let’s all work to do better!
