27 Patrick Irwin — Building Community One Ride at a Time
What started as a simple bike ride between friends has grown into one of Detroit’s most unique community movements.
In Episode 27 of Wealth Is A Choice, James sits down with Patrick Irwin, founder of We Bike Detroit, to talk about biking, community, resilience, faith, health, and what it truly means to connect people across a city.
Patrick shares the incredible story behind We Bike Detroit, a grassroots biking movement that now brings hundreds of riders together every month to explore Detroit neighborhoods, support local businesses, and create meaningful human connection through movement and shared experiences.
But this conversation goes much deeper than cycling.
Patrick opens up about:
• Growing up in Southwest Detroit
• The changing landscape of Detroit neighborhoods
• Why biking can strengthen communities and improve health
• His near-fatal widowmaker heart attack and recovery
• The importance of kindness, forgiveness, and self-awareness
• Lessons from Siena Heights and building opportunities for others
• Why true wealth is about purpose, people, and giving back
This is a powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, faith, community, and choosing to live intentionally.
