Commuter Tips

Bicycling to work is easy and safe. To have the best experience possible, follow the tips below:
  • Chat on Facebook to find a ride buddy or strategize your route. You can also plan a route with Google’s Bicycle Trip Planner or using the map above.
  • Act as if you were driving a vehicle – ride in the direction WITH traffic, stop at stop signs, be predictable
  • Routes that parallel busy streets are often better for bicycles. Look for smooth surfaces, low traffic speeds and volumes
  • Determine where you will store your bike while you work before you show up (many places have garage or locations inside!)
  • Wear comfortable clothing, it’s okay to change when you get to work
  • Make sure your bike is in working order the night before
Feeling a little hesitant? Check out one of our FREE Bicycle Safety Workshops before you ride.

Who:

NOLA Bike To Work Day is brought to you by Entergy Corporation, Bike Easy, Louisiana Public Health Institute, the City of New Orleans, Downtown Development District, and Young Leadership Council.

Why:

Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from our daily commutes are a leading cause of climate change. Biking to work is one way we can do our part to save money, save energy and save the environment.
Before Hurricane Katrina, Orleans Parish had fewer than 5 miles of bike lanes and pedestrian walkways. Thanks to a grant from Entergy Corporation and a partnership between the City of New Orleans and the Louisiana Public Health Institute, the city now boasts 50 miles of completed bikeways and pedestrian walkways with another 20 miles planned or under construction. As a result, the City of New Orleans has been recognized as a Bronze Level Bike Friendly City by the League of American Bicyclists — joining other cities such as Portland, Boulder and Austin who are designated bike-friendly cities. Residents in metropolitan New Orleans can now access a growing bikeway network of more than 140 miles.
