The system has been a big topic of conversation around garden district hotels in new orleans the city, with the typical amount of New York complaining, skepticism and even conspiracy theories. However, as a visitor, you don’t have to worry about any of that — just get a bike and take a spin around the city.
The seats easily adjust and can accommodate most riders. (Note: You have to be 16 years old to ride).

Many of you who have been to Manhattan or Brooklyn might shudder at the thought of braving garden district hotels in new orleans the crowded streets armed with only a bicycle for protection, but in recent years there has been a push to make the city more bicycle friendly to provide an alternative to car travel.

There are several stations along the way if you want to stop and drop off the bike.
