Tour de Hood: Cycling Through Detroit

Misterarthur is a cycling enthusiast. So much so that he rode his bike across Spain a few years ago, following the centuries old pilgrimage route known as the Camino de Santiago. He now rides about 50 miles each weekend, following a route of his own creation through Detroit. In an effort to create some interest in having others join him, he’s started a new blog called Tour De Hood. It features notes on his journeys as well as a map loaded with photos of our “fair” city. If you’re interested in seeing what our once booming metropolis looks like you should pay it a visit.

The route got its name last summer during the annual Tour de France. Misterarthur was cycling past a church one Sunday when a boy, standing on the steps of a church, yelled to him, “Yo! Tour de hood!”

Get on your bikes and ride.
