NEW ORLEAANS
BIKE TOURS

18 years running, the very original New Orleans bike tour, the story of the 300 years that New Orleans came to be so different from the rest of the United States told through a ride through the Bywater, Marigny and St Roch, the neighborhoods we live in and celebrate.

So, of course, our rest stop will be at an old bar that I even spent the night before Katrina came in at, Marie's. A fine place for anything you need for your own celebration.

Our culture, parades, music, food, love of life...those are the reasons you come visit us, and sharing the history of how we ended up this way, is what we do.

Kids are welcome, the city's history is fascinating to anyone.

We'll cruise the narrow streets of the the beautiful Creole side of our city, early 19th century suburbs when 'suburb' meant something completely different than it  does today. these neighborhoods that run alongside the Mississippi River were originally home to the Creoles and Free People of Color, and later the Irish and Italian immigrants, and even have some important civil rights history. These areas today are both changing and remaining the same, vibrant as ever with freshly renovated homes right next to the still dilapidated and everyone happy with both.

We may wind our way along the oak-lined beauty of Esplanade Avenue, peddling past the old French Creole mansions straddling the Marigny and the French Quarter, and tell the stories of the oldest neighborhoods of free people of color which is still where much of our music and second line parades comes from

The tour is free-flowing and our guides change the routes as they feel by the day and the tour, there is way too much to fit in 3 hours, but the beauty of our neighborhood is, whatever direction we go,there are great stories to tell.
