On Veterans Day, The Michigan Pedaler would like to show its gratitude to veterans and active military members by honoring their service to our country with a special promotion.

On Sunday November 11^th, The Michigan Pedaler will run special rides for veterans and their guests free of charge.  Veterans may choose the time they would like to ride.  Each veteran may be accompanied by a guest of their choice.

“When it comes to our service members, there really isn’t enough that we can do to thank them,” said Mike Gill, owner of The Michigan Pedaler. “This is just a small way to show appreciation for their service to our country and protecting our freedoms”

Veterans and their guest will board one of the The Michigan Pedaler’s fleet of party bikes with other veterans and for two hours, pedal through the City of Detroit, visiting two bars as well as stopping for photos at landmarks. Per The Michigan Pedaler’s usual rules, veterans can also bring their own beer, drinks or snacks for the ride.

An honor to honor veterans

The Michigan Pedaler employs two veterans, Scott and Rich, as part of their all-star team of drivers that interact with guests and help create a fun atmosphere while navigating rides through the city.

“This will truly be our honor to welcome such distinguished guests,” said the Pedaler’s Operations Manager Nick Popovski. “We’re looking for a fun day with a lot of rides to celebrate our service men and women.”

Registration for this offer must be complete by Wednesday, November 7, 2018. There is no on-site, day-of registration.  All veterans and guests must be 21 years or older to participate. Further details will be provided via email at a later date.
