Overview

Wheelhouse Detroit
Wheelhouse Detroit is a community-focused bicycle shop and tour company dedicated to helping people experience the Motor City on two wheels. Founded in 2008 by longtime Detroiters Kelli Kavanaugh and Karen Gage, Wheelhouse grew from a bike rental and service business into a destination for cycling, exploration, and community connection.
Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or simply looking for a fun way to discover Detroit, Wheelhouse offers bike rentals, repairs, accessories, and guided bicycle tours for a wide range of ages and abilities. Rent everything from cruisers and BMX bikes to tricycles and family-friendly accessories, or have bikes delivered directly to your hotel or vacation rental for a group adventure.
Wheelhouse's guided tours offer a deeper look at Detroit, taking riders through historic neighborhoods, public art, music heritage, the riverfront, and the city's many hidden gems. Each tour combines recreation with stories about Detroit's history, culture, architecture, and ongoing transformation.
Beyond its tours and bike shop, Wheelhouse is deeply invested in Detroit's cycling community, supporting bicycle infrastructure, community partnerships, bicycle valet services, and local charitable initiatives.
Located in the heart of Detroit, Wheelhouse is more than a place to rent a bike—it's a gateway to exploring Detroit, connecting with its communities, and discovering the city from a completely different perspective.
