Im from the Cleveland area, but I’m interning in Detroit this summer! I know of a couple things to do like the big farmers market, DIA, and lakes Huron and Michigan are pretty close (relatively speaking). What are some other things to do? The must see/do type things. Im also wondering, is Detroit a relatively bikeable city? Im staying near midtown/downtown area and interning near Comerica for reference. Thanks so much!

Midtown is super bikeable and there's a lot of great local spots you can hit up. Stadtgarten is a fantastic beergarden with NA options if you don't drink. The DIA is gorgeous. Get some detroit style pizza (you'll get a lot of recommendations like michigan & trumbull, buddy's, shields if you're in midtown). I like rooftop bars when the weather permits- monarch club has a great view of the city though you may have to get reservations. River Walk is super serene, Belle Isle is fun and has an aquarium and a museum dedicated to the great lakes. You're in for a fun time, welcome!
