I couldn't find any specifics, but based on the size of this event I would venture to guess that it is permitted and operated much like a parade. From their
website:
Today, the Woodward Dream Cruise is the world’s largest one-day automotive event, drawing 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars each year from around the globe—from as far away as New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the former Soviet Union. North American cruisers from California, Georgia, Canada and all points in between caravan to Metro Detroit to participate in what has become, for many, an annual rite of summer.
If this is the case, then any vehicle not participating in the event (cyclist or otherwise) should not be interspersed with the parade vehicles.
