Interesting... tell us more about Detroit? In what manner are the cyclists riding... Sharing the road as drivers of vehicles or acting as ninja sneaks on "fashionable" fixies?

Are people taking to bikes due to some limitation on auto travel? Or is it due to the natural overcrowding effect of the mostly empty auto filling the streets? Or is this an economical surge?

Any speculation?
