Safety. Fit and Comfort.
Those are the first priorities of Bikesport, Michigan’s largest Road and Triathlon store located on Michigan Avenue in downtown Dearborn. Safety is a given when it comes to cycling on the open road or trail. Comfort is sometimes more of a priority to the customer. If a rider can reach his leg over the cross bar, it fits, right? Here’s where owner Tom Demerly and his expert staff have made their in-roads and distinguish themselves from the rest of the competition.
Bikesport is the leader in Michigan and the Midwest when it comes to selecting the bike and proper fit for the customer. With over 20 years of fit and positioning experience, Bikesport is acknowledged as the business of choice for entry level riders to elite professional athletes.
The staff at Bikesport has over 50 years of combined experience and that resource is a tremendous value when buying your first bike or looking to upgrade. Bikesport offers how-to classes, sales and service, indoor training rides, daily editorials and product reviews and a complete line up of road and triathlon bikes.
Bikesport is locally owned and operated. Stop in today and see the difference!

The Wayne State University baseball program hosted its annual summer camp this weekend at the WSU baseball field in Detroit. Campers received fundamental instruction on all aspects of the game, plus had a chance to meet players from the Detroit Tigers, including pitcher Justin Verlander, outfielder Curtis Granderson, shortstop Adam Everett and catcher Gerald Laird. Pitching coach Jeff Jones and Bullpen Catcher Scott Pickens also attended.
Great job by the WSU Baseball staff and players! Thank you Detroit Tigers for making a visit to the camp. What a great experience for the young players in attendance.
The Wayne State University baseball program will host its annual summer camp July 10-11 at the WSU baseball field in Detroit. Campers will receive fundamental instruction on all aspects of the game, plus have a chance to meet players from the Detroit Tigers. Those Tigers expected to attend include pitcher Justin Verlander, outfielder Curtis Granderson, shortstop Adam Everett and catcher Gerald Laird.
Clinicians for the camp will include WSU head coach Ryan Kelley and Detroit Tigers bullpen coach Jeff Jones, as well as local high school coaches, the Wayne State baseball coaching staff and WSU Baseball student-athletes.
Jones has over 30 years of experience in professional baseball, including over 20 as a pitching coach in the Detroit Tigers organization. He was named the Tigers’ bullpen coach in 2006, marking his fifth stint in that capacity.
Jones had previously served seven consecutive seasons as the pitching coach for the Toledo Mud Hens, Detroit’s Triple A minor league affiliate. His professional coaching career began with the Tigers organization in 1989.
Selected by Oakland in the 13th round of the June 1977 draft, his pitching career spanned 11 seasons (1977-87). He attended Southgate High School, helping lead his team to the Wyandotte League title in 1974.
The camp costs $75 per day or $135 for both days. Campers should be dressed prepared for baseball practice and are advised to bring their own equipment, if possible. Additional Camp and Registration information can be found at Wayne State University’s Athletic website at www.wsuathletics.com
Oakwood Sports Medicine was on the scene at Comerica Park promoting its orthopedic specialty services. As part of the multi-game promotion, Tigers fans had the opportunity to enter a raffle for an autographed Miguel Cabrera jersey. Thank you to the hundreds of fans that stopped by our booth, we enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone.
Congratulations to Mr. Earl Jones of Garden City, the winner of the autographed jersey!
