Like every manufacturer in the US, we’ve felt the uncomfortable presence
and strain of operating during a worldwide pandemic. 
The restlessness that everyone feels due to the uncertain social distancing
timelines has also been felt at Detroit Bikes. 
However, one thing has become quite clear to us over the past year - cycling
(while maintaining proper social distance protocols) has become a way of
escape for many Americans.
With miles of paved cities, forests, coastal drives, and quiet parks - many
cities and rural towns are conducive to riding bikes.

While the e ects of living in a pandemic began in the latest stages of winter
in the Midwest - the spring and summer climate has blossomed into a
welcoming climate for cycling.
We’ve been able to focus on the physical and mental health bene ts of biking
- it connects people, it gives those who can’t normally endure intense physical
activity a chance to get out and experience the world. 
It can reduce our stress levels - and even help us sleep better!

Below are some key highlights and takeaways that should be considered
during the COVID-19 environment. 

Is it safe to ride outside? 

Yes. The safest way is to ride alone - however, if you do choose to ride in a
group, be aware of the current social distancing restrictions in your area.

The safest plan for cycling is to ride out solo, enjoy the fresh air in an open
environment, and try to time your rides for when you know the route will be
less crowded.

Should I wear a mask while biking? 

During quarantine - it is important to get in between 30-60 minutes of
moderate to brisk activity in a day, build your immune system, and keeps
viruses (like the Flu), at bay.

For this question, we’ll always refer to the most updated, CDC guidelines on
mask use. 
Last month, the CDC updated their recommendations to state “people wear
masks in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your
household”.

It also states that “masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from
spreading the virus to others”.

Should I avoid interacting with others, or touching things outside? 

If you’re interested in purchasing some training-style face masks, you can
nd them at Adidas, and TrainingMask. We also have masks for sale on our

website.

According to the CDC  COVID-19 is not thought to spread by touching a
surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their nose or
mouth, although it could be possible.  
However, to be safe - avoid touching things like tra c buttons, elevator doors
and buttons - in case another person coughs and proceeds to touch these
surfaces without washing their hands.

Before meeting up to ride with people outside of your family unit - take the
time to assess   key risk factors  like the level of spread in your local
community, if you have been exposed to COVID-19 and could be at risk for
asymptomatically spreading it, as well as the recent health history of
potential riding partners. 
In general - be aware and mindful of your interactions with others, and
always take preventative steps like washing your hands, wearing masks in
public, and limiting your interactions with others.

In doing so - we can be part of the solution to decrease the spread of COVID-
19.
If you’re looking to upgrade your current ride to end the summer and
kickstart your fall riding also look out at our US Chromoly Bikes, the A-type,
B-type, or the Cortello.
