Our bicycle shop accepts and repairs used bicycles, and then distributes them to Detroiters in need in targeted giveaways. In 2025, Mi-Cycle distributed 975 bikes to the community.
Affordable, sustainable, and independent transportation promotes healthy living for children and adults!
The pandemic exposed a number of inequalities, and one of them is access to transportation — for school, work, medical care, physical recreation, and other activities. SAY Detroit launched Mi-Cycle in 2021 with program director Chuck Nagy to address this major challenge for underserved communities, pursue a green approach, and dispel the myths about who is and who isn’t interested in cycling culture and building bicycle-friendly cities.
As with many of SAY Detroit’s efforts, the approach is multi-pronged:
