With nearly 350,000 residents, and ranked in the top ten most populous US cities for biking and walking levels by the 2014 Benchmarking Report, New Orleans can seem like a wild place to consider bicycling.
This historical city continues to demonstrate a design well suited for short trips and bicycling. However, bicyclists need to be careful as the driving population of New Orleans still has not fully adjusted to bicycle riders.
Bicycling through New Orleans can be a fulfilling trip for the whole family. Remember these tips on French Quarter bike safety:
New Orleans also hosts numerous biking tours, special bike paths, such as the upcoming Lafitte Greenway, the Annual World Naked Bike Tour in New Orleans to raise awareness for bike safety, and The New Orleans Bike Bash: a 3-day collection of bicycle-related events ranging from rides to bike polo, to bike-in-movies, designed to provide a wide variety of fun bicycle themed activities.
And if you’re still on the fence about bicycling in New Orleans, sit back as a passenger aboard a New Orleans Bike Taxi.
Biking is a healthy and generally safe activity, but accidents can still happen. If you or a loved one was involved in a bicycle accident in New Orleans, please contact Smiley Law to learn about injury aid and compensation.
