A Ferndale business owner is hoping at least 2,000 people will join him on June 30 to take part in a 54-mile bike ride on Woodward Avenue.

His plan comes after organizers put the brakes on the proposed Gran Fondo, or "big ride," event scheduled for that day involving a professional bicycle race from Detroit to Pontiac and back followed by a massive community bike ride.
