Today, 7:00pm
Niki's Pizza
734 Beaubien, Detroit, Michigan 48226
Bicyclists have had a profound affect on the city of Detroit, our nation's transportation system and much more. Bicyclists led the fight for good roads. Bicycles played a key role in redefining women's role in society. And it was Detroit bicycle racers, mechanics and technology that spurred the creation of the auto industry. Todd Scott will share the stories: from the first Detroit bicycle ride in 1863 through the Golden Age of bicycling and to the transportation mode that quickly replaced the two-wheeled wonder.

Todd Scott is the Detroit Greenways Coordinator for the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance. Todd is passionate about Detroit's past, present and future.
