2020 Fourth Annual Michigan Pedaler #Pedal4Charity Week

Here is all the information you need to learn about our Fourth Annual #Pedal4Charity Week to kickoff the 2020 Michigan Pedaler season.

What is The Michigan Pedaler?
The Michigan Pedaler is a 15 passenger party bike located in Cortktown, Detroit. We take people on fun two-hour tours of the city where people pedal through Downtown, Corktown, Midtown, or Eastern Market. Groups of all ages enjoy the bike, many choosing to turn their time on the bike into a combination of sight-seeing, being-seen and a pub crawl. Groups often stop at area bars and pubs as well as stopping for photos at local landmarks Debuting in March 2016, many of our dates sell out. We have six 15-passenger bikes plus one 6-passenger bike and riders are permitted to bring their own alcohol on the bike.

For complete information on the bike, visit www.michiganpedaler.com.

What is the Fourth Annual #Pedal4Charity Week?
We strongly believe in supporting our community and the institutions that do so much to help those in need, educate our children, and honor those who have served or assisted us in various ways. Our riders blessed us with lots of support during our previous four years in business and this is one way we’d like to say thanks to the metro-Detroit community.

Even though The Michigan Pedaler is open year-round, the warm weather months are obviously more popular than the winter months. To celebrate the start of the warm-weather season, we are starting our fifth year of operation out with a bang – and looking to help local charities raise money for their own operations. Thus, for these seven days, we will be allowing charities to use our bikes to raise money for their causes – with over 50 potential rides benefiting 50 charity organizations.  

Who is eligible?
Non-profit organizations. 

Any organization that operates as a non-profit is eligible to submit an application. Charitable organizations, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, schools and churches are all eligible to apply.

Political parties or organizations are not eligible.

Can I pick my time and is there a cost?
Organizations will be offered a time slot for their ride over the course of the seven day period. The first rides available will be on Sunday, April 5th. The last rides will be on Saturday, April 11th. Organizations must confirm their spot and guarantee it with a $75 non-refundable processing fee to show their commitment to participating in the program.

Due to space limitations, we cannot share more information here. We will be posting our full info packet on our website. You can also email us for the packet at info@michiganpedaler.com. It includes more details, a FAQ and successful fundraising ideas.
