One of my favorite ways to explore Detroit is on a MoGo Bike, and after one ride I think it will be yours too. You may have seen the bright orange bikes around the city, or perhaps saw the profile I did on MoGo's founder, Lisa Nuszkowski, for a "My Detroit" segment on Live In The D. But, what I really hope is to inspire you to take a ride for yourself.

I must admit that when I first heard about the bike sharing and bike paths that were coming to the city, I was resistant to the idea. Was this what Detroit really needs? Who is going to use this new bike sharing service? The short answer: ME!
Let me explain how it works...
MoGo has 44 docking stations around the city where you can check out a bike for $8 a day. Only thing to keep in mind is the bike needs to be docked (kind of like a check-in) every 30 minutes. It may sound complicated, but trust me, it's not. For example, on one of my excursions from a friend's house in Southwest, to Corktown for brunch, took about 20 minutes. When I was done, I was more than ready to drop the bike at one of the convenient docks and sit down to eat. Or, heading from the Shinola store to the DIA, same thing! About a 25 minute ride, but a natural time to want to stop and enjoy the neighborhood.
The way I take in the sights, sounds and beauty of the city is completely different riding on a bike with the wind hitting my face. It's almost as if I can feel the texture of our city in a way I never could zipping by at 30 mph. Murals are brighter, the colors of buildings more vibrant, and the grit of the city is palatable.
Trust me! If you're on the fence about trying MoGo for yourself, just do it! Don't let another beautiful day pass by without taking advantage of this unique way to explore!
