Part of the "Your Verse" campaign that focuses on how creative minds use iPads, the ad shines a bright light on Detroit, where Hall's bike event attracts over 3,000 riders every Monday.

"The first time I saw (the spots) I was speechless," Hall said in an interview with USA TODAY, describing it as like "a gift that had been wrapped for the city of Detroit."
