ABOUT ME
I helped organize a youth education bicycle program and bicycle shop in The Cass Corridor, Detroit, MI, US from 2004 through 2009. It's called The Hub of Detroit.
I was a bike messenger for 4 years in Detroit, as well.
My house is full of bicycles.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'd love to host people visiting Detroit, give little tours, and provide bicycle help/possibly lending.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I usually only travel places where I have friends, and stay with them. In turn, they stay with me when the come to Detroit.
I've hosted bike tourists before, referred by a website similar to this, but specific to cycle-tourists: warmshowers.org
I enjoy giving out-of-towners tours of what's up with my own city, and love getting similar perspectives on other places.
