I used to live and work in Detroit in the 90s and had a lot of fun riding my bike around. I had an apartment by 8-mile and Gratiot, and there were a couple of neat old bicycle shops south of 8-mile on Gratiot. I never had any real trouble with anyone while living there. I used to go eat supper at the food court in the Eastland Mall after work every day. I used to like to walk around town and look at the old buildings, like the old grand train station that was not too far from the old Tiger Stadium, and there was a nice little deli by the Electrician's Union Hall I used to go to. I worked in Hamtramck which was a nice place. My bike was an old single-speed cruiser from the 50s with a coaster brake which was very beat up and rusty which was good because nobody ever wanted it besides me, I just left it laying outside against the garage. After the 9-11 debacle the economy went down the tubes there and I moved back to PA. I miss it all the time though.
