Explore the city of Detroit after dark in Detroit Mercy’s 34th Annual Late Night Bike Ride. Join fellow students, staff, faculty and community members on Friday, Sept. 5 and travel by bicycle to discover all that Detroit has to offer.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Students: If you have your own bike, this is a FREE event. If you need to rent a bike, indicate on the form below and follow the link to receive a rental bike for just $5.
- Staff, faculty and community members: Registration is $20 — the same whether you need to rent a bike or not.
- Day-of check-in will begin at 7 p.m. in Kassab Mall on the McNichols Campus (the area between the Student Union and Holden Hall). There you’ll receive a free reflective Detroit Mercy lanyard and, if you registered for one, your rental bike. The Bike Ride will begin at 8 p.m. sharp.
The Route & The Ride
After cutting south on Hamilton Avenue, we’ll wend our way through the Boston-Edison Historical District and Detroit’s Midtown/Cass Corridor neighborhood before stopping at UDM’s Dentistry Campus in Southwest Detroit for a bathroom/water break. From there, we’ll head down Michigan Avenue, through Corktown and into downtown, where we’ll ride along the River Walk, swing past UDM’s Riverfront Campus on Jefferson Avenue, and make a pit stop at Lafayette Coney Island for a bite to eat.
On our way back, we’ll cruise back through Midtown/Cass Corridor, then take Hamilton Avenue north to Oakman Boulevard. Finally, we’ll roll through the Martin Park neighborhood and return to campus through the east gate at about 11:30-11:45 p.m.
