Handlebars for the Homeless is a guided bicycle tour and will highlight some of Detroit’s hidden treasures. We are adding a new 6-mile tour route this year! This is an opportunity for non-seasoned bikers to join the ride. Rider's will be able to see neighborhoods that are being refreshed and revitalized. They will tour Neighborhoods where some of the state and even country’s hottest restaurants are located. The 6-mile tour will leave from the Bell Building and ride through Boston Edison Historic District and stop at the NSO Life Choices Building. The 15-mile riders will continue from the Life Choices building, and head through North End & Milwaukee Junction, and then up through Island View to the McDougall Hunt neighborhood where the Detroit Health Housing Center is located and back to the Bell Building.
Cyclists can support the ride virtually and raise money anytime and anywhere from Friday, August 16, through Sunday, August 25, 2024. Cyclists can take their own route, ride indoors or outdoors, atop a traditional bike or a smart bike trainer, on their favorite bike path or virtual bicycle app.
All participants will receive an NSO Handlebars for the Homeless high-performance T-shirt, spoke card, raffle entry, and refreshments.
In 2023, event sponsors included: Absopure, Arrow Strategies, Bedrock, BYP Detroit, D. Ericson & Associates, Ethos Development Partners, Fusco, Shaffer & Pappas, Inc., Gilbane Building Company, Marsh McLennan Agency, MHT Housing, Inc., Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Molina Healthcare, PCE Systems, and Wayne Health.
Proceeds from Handlebars for the Homeless will benefit our programs and services for individuals experiencing homelessness.
