  • Winter commuting tips from Tim 14 Dec 2009 | 9:12 pm The Hub of Detroit » Tips

    There are many challenges facing you when deciding to keep on riding when the weather gets cold, snowy and icy. You can make more excuses to add to Detroit specific problems of huge potholes, stop sign running drivers and the amount of broken glass and scrap metal that litter our streets. But, it's still so much more fun getting where you're going by bike, you just have to prepare for it.

    The ubiquity of vise grip pliers as the most essential bicycle repair tool is certainly not unique to Detroit, though its prevalence in the Motor City can hardly be overlooked after even a few days’ casual observation on city streets. Many honest and legitimate bicycle mechanics have frequently been at some pains to explain its [...]

  • Lighting Theory 27 Aug 2009 | 10:26 pm The Hub of Detroit » Tips

    From The Professor, Jacob VanDyke: Many folks have told me over the years about the necessity of being lit from behind to avoid being hit by a car. While I don’t dispute the practicality and safety of a rear light, some of these same people will happily cycle after dark with naught but a blinking rear, [...]
