Why Locals Love the Original Detroit Party Bike

More than a tourist activity — here’s why Detroiters keep coming back to HandleBar.

If you’ve ever been downtown on a sunny afternoon or a buzzing Saturday night, you’ve probably heard it: music blasting, people cheering, and a glowing party bike rolling past. That’s Detroit HandleBar — the OG Detroit party bike that’s been cruising the streets and winning over locals since day one.

It’s a party made for Detroit weather

Detroit doesn’t always offer perfect weather, but when it does? Locals know how to make the most of it. The open-air design of HandleBar is perfect for those warm summer nights and crisp fall afternoons. There’s nothing better than pedaling past murals and landmarks with your favorite people, drinks in hand, soaking up the city.

BYOB and built for your crew

This isn’t your average bar crawl. With HandleBar, you bring the drinks, the playlist, and the vibe. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure that lets you pregame, celebrate, or just cruise — no overpriced cocktails or long lines required.

Support local while having fun

HandleBar’s routes highlight the best of Detroit — from murals and landmarks to local bars and small businesses. Whether you’re stopping for a drink on Woodward or snapping pics in front of the Z Lot, you’re exploring the city in a way that supports it, too.

No planning stress, all good vibes

Let’s face it: organizing a night out can be a headache. HandleBar takes care of the route, the setup, and the fun. Just grab your friends, show up with your cooler, and hop on. It’s the easiest way to turn an ordinary weekend into a main-character moment.

Locals know best

You don’t need to be celebrating a birthday or a bachelorette to ride. From after-work hangs to random Friday fun, locals book HandleBar again and again because it just delivers. It’s the kind of experience that reminds you how fun your own city can be.
