I met a couple from Kentucky, probably in their late 50s, who were doing a one-month bike tour all over the eastern half of the country, and they were gushing about what a great ride they had in Detroit and Pontiac.

They were not at all happy about their experience in the suburbs, chiefly because of how different conditions are [[road design and traffic).

Metro Times had a great article along these lines - something we should jump on and take advantage of!
