Bike the Bridge could be a go after all.
Organizers previously posted on their website the event was cancelled due to security concerns at the bridge.
Windsor councillor and cycle enthusiast Alan Halberstadt told CTV News he talked with Ambassador Bridge Company spokesperson Dan Stamper Wednesday. Stamper says they have no problem with the event and are willing to participate in it.
So now it’s up to the Detroit Cycling Committee to decide whether or not to proceed with the event, says Halberstadt.
It might have to be pushed back later than the original mid-July date.
The annual cycling event is the only day of the year the Ambassador Bridge allows pedestrians of any kind and the only time cyclists can physically ride between countries in the area.
The two cities swap hosting duties each year. Detroit hosted in the inaugural year of 2009 and was scheduled to host again this year.
