If ever a city needed a weekend to blow off some steam, it's Detroit Michigan. With an unemployment rate pushing 20%, a poverty rate of over 30% and some really curious ideas on how to deal with the rising crime rate, residents of the Motor City, while still fiercely loyal to their city, have not had a lot to look forward to in the last few years. This coming weekend, however, people from all over Michigan will get a chance to once again lose their mind in Detroit Rock City.
The Third Annual Detroit Bike Week is really cranking it up this year with a chopper giveaway by Poor Boy Choppers, Miss Detroit Bike Week Babe contest, Buffalo Wild Wings wing eating contest and Lucky Monkey Tattoo's ink awards. Multiple Guinness World Book of Records will be attempted this year - and Detroit Bike Week attendees will be invited to help break records in a variety of motorcycle categories. Over 20 band will be playing throughout the weekend, including favorites of ours, Badd Habitz and Iron Cowgirl Missy. Ryan Hurst, Opie from FX's Sons of Anarchy, will appear on Sunday for a meet and greet, and will lead a world record attempting bike run at 1:00.
Detroit Bike Week is making sure you'll have plenty to do all weekend long. There are bikers games, a Biker Babe contest, cage fights, stunt riders, bike shows, a Traveling Wall Escort ride, a bikini bike wash, and much, much more. There's even a bar onsite (And we love bars!).Over 100 vendors will be on hand during the event.
Held at the Multi-Lakes Conservation Association in Commerce Township, MI, about 20 miles northwest of Detroit, tickets for Detroit Bike Week are $10 per day, $20 for the weekend. Proceeds benefit several charities, including Cell Phones for Soldiers, MDA Ride For a Cure and the USO .
Detroit Bike Week has come a long way in a very short time. Last year's even brought in over 10,000 bikers. This year is sure to top that. Get on up to Detroit Bike Week, and see what hard working, blue-collar partying is all about!
