Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

They seem to be everywhere you look around the city: people on bikes.

All kinds of people, and all kinds of bikes.

The bikes caught the attention of Matt Fry, director of the Detroit Artists Market.

Fry's observations reflect a feeling among many that the Motor City is fast-becoming what one popular T-shirt proclaims: Detroit Bike City.

"I kept seeing people biking," Fry told the Detroit Free Press ( http://on.freep.com/1HV9zWA ). "And it's not just the Slow Roll (weekly ride) phenomenon. There's this seemingly endless list of great cycling-related activities and clubs. It occurred to me that there's this growing bicycle culture in the city."
