Detroit Bicycles
Whether you are commuting twenty miles to work everyday or haven’t touched a bike in fifteen years, Detroit builds with you in mind.
Detroit Bikes are built in a city with manufacturing prowess and deep traditions of bicycle production, touring, recreational riding, commuting, and racing. The prototype was constructed in a coach house off Woodward Avenue, a couple of blocks from where Henry Ford once lived.
Detroit cuts, copes, bends, welds, paints, assembles and packages each bike in it's 50,000 square-foot factory in west Detroit. And you? You ride them joyfully wherever the road takes you.

Riding a bike should be simple. Whether you are commuting twenty miles to work everyday or haven’t touched a bike in fifteen years, we build with you in mind. Detroit Bikes are light and strong. Minimalist bikes with features that enhance durability and quality of ride.
If you’re between 5’3 and 6’3, Detroit Bikes will fit you. The slightly larger wheels mean our bikes ride smoothly. Coupling foot and hand brakes ensures full control and safe braking power. Each bike has Shimano's NEXUS Internal 3-speed gear hub Although we like things as simple as possible there are ample braze-ons to allow for customization. A Vintage-styled riveted saddle and rear rack complete the package.
