Biking in Nowlins,the garden district

In need of a bike in Nola?

There is a great way to see the garden district in New Orleans and it is by bicycle. If you don't travel with your own, the prices to rent one in Nola are pretty much the same everywhere ($25 a day) but some shops offer different services that might be more what you need if you are staying a bit out of the French quarter where all the bike rental shops seem to be. Does everyone have to stay in the French quarter to have some fun? I say no. Try to stay in mid-city and you can enjoy some laid back neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants,and all that a street car ride away from the center and even a shorter cab ride. Browsing the different websites for bike rental I came across this one site that proposed to come to your house and drop off the bikes. The guy was really nice and helpful and even picked up the bikes somewhere else at the end of the day. It was the exact same price as having to use transportation to get to those shops in the French quarter and much more convenient. To ride in the garden district I would take some roads parallel to the main ones as some street can get busy,but Jeff from the Confederacy of Cruisers can tell you where to go to be safe and see what you want to see.
