EVENT OVERVIEW

Pedals and Passport is the signature event of the Metro 313 Cyclones - Major Taylor Detroit.  This fun international event and historic path of the Underground Railroad focuses on scenic cycling just across the United States border in the country of Canada.  In addition, 2024 marks the 10th Anniversary of “the Cyclones” so this is one of the events we are celebrating with you!

When you travel from the Motor City of Detroit, Michigan, you will be treated to some fantastic and low elevation cycling as you venture into Canada’s most southern city of Windsor, Ontario.  Whether you take the Ambassador Bridge and be treated with a breathtaking city landscape of two countries or decide to drive through the tunnel underneath the Detroit River, our Canadian friends will be ready to receive you.

Pedals and Passport has three route options that will take you through some of the historic cities that were originally part of the northern portion of the Underground Railroad (Go Visit AMHERSTBURG FREEDOM MUSEUM).  All routes will start and end at Malden Park.  From there, the mostly flat and smooth terrain will take you southeast to the cities of Amherstburg, Colchester, and Leamington, Ontario, with coastal views of the Detroit River, windmill laden farms and wine vineyards, and relaxing overlooks of Lake Erie. Make sure you have your PASSPORT or enhanced driver's license to cross the border.

SAFETY – IT’S EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY!

To help ensure your safety on ride day, there will be directional signage and map routes available online.  If you prefer to ride as a group, there will be ride leaders and sweepers on each route leaving at specific times.

PLEASE NOTE: Stretches of the Pedals and Passports route will be along Essex County Road 20 with limited bike and shoulder lanes.  It is acceptable for cyclists in Windsor to safely assume the right lane and for cars to pass via the left lane.  You will see signs like the one below or something similar throughout the route.  Please use discretion when attempting to pass other riders or traveling in a peloton.

GROUP RIDE ETIQUETTE

If you ride with the Cyclone Led Group, please follow the ride leader at the pace that is set.  Each group led option will have sweepers to ensure no one is left behind.Cycling in a group can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, but it's essential to maintain clear communication with your fellow riders to ensure everyone's safety and comfort. One effective way to communicate is through hand signals, which can indicate upcoming turns, stops, or potential hazards on the road. Be sure to use these signals well in advance of any action, giving your fellow cyclists ample time to react. Verbal cues, such as calling out "slowing," "stopping," or "car back," can also be beneficial in alerting others to changes in the group's movements or approaching vehicles. Proper road etiquette is equally important when riding with a group this summer. Always ride predictably and maintain a steady line, avoiding sudden movements that could cause confusion or accidents. When passing another rider, announce your intention by calling out "on your left" and ensure you have ample room to overtake safely. Adhere to traffic rules and regulations, including stopping at stop signs and red lights, and yielding to pedestrians. By practicing proper communication and road etiquette, you can contribute to a safer, more enjoyable group cycling experience for everyone involved.

PEDALS AND PASSPORT EVENT REFUND POLICY
THERE IS NO REFUND FOR THE EVENT. There is no rain date; Pedals and Passport will go on rain or shine.  In case of severe weather or restrictions mandated by local Canadian municipalities, Metro 313 Cyclones reserves the right to cancel/alter/modify Pedals and Passport. All attendees will be notified in advance.
