As of January 23, 2007: If you are travelling to Canada by air, a valid passport  is necessary for return entry to the U.S. 
(See US State Department for requirements re air travel . )

A passport is presently NOT mandatory for travel by land (vehicle, train or boat) across the Canada/US border.   However, U.S. citizens entering Canada will be required to present proof of U.S. citizenship (i.e. current passport OR birth certificate along with a picture I.D.). Naturalized U.S. citizens should have their naturalization papers or wallet-size certificates. U.S. permanent residents require a valid U.S. Permanent Resident Card or the Resident Alien Card. (Resident aliens are required to carry their cards with them at all times.)

Travellers should also have the appropriate I.D. for all accompanying children.

US Visitors' allowances.
Visitors from other countries' allowances

When exiting Canada, you may stop at a 'duty-free' store prior to entering the Tunnel or getting onto the Bridge. You do not pay tax or duty on merchandise purchased at these duty-free stores; it is then up to the customs official of the country you are entering as to whether these charges would be levied, based on the duration of your visit.
Detroit-Windsor Tunnel: Pay your toll at the Toll Booth, then veer right to the Tunnel Duty-Free Shoppe before you enter the Tunnel. 
Ambassador Bridge: The Ambassador Duty Free Store is accessible from the Huron Church Road or Wyandotte Street approach to the Bridge. (Toll is paid after you cross the Bridge.)

(You may also stop at a duty-free store when entering Canada from the United States; they are accessible immediately before entering the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel, or prior to driving onto the Ambassador Bridge.)

No, neither the Tunnel nor the Bridge permit cyclists on bicycles. The bicycle would have to be loaded into a vehicle and transported across.

Motorcycles are permitted on the Ambassador Bridge, but may not be driven through the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel.

The speed limit for most city driving is 50 km/hour (31 mph), while highway driving ranges from 80 km to 100 km/hour (50-62 mph).

Please note that bingo establishments, however, require that you be 18 years of age.
