Ever since we’ve been quarantined, we appreciate outside so much more. Sure, walking is cool, but biking is it. You cover more ground, you feel the breeze in your hair and best of all, it’s just plain fun.
There are plenty of biking trails open around the city, like City Park, Crescent Park, Algiers Point and Lafitte Greenway. Or, you can opt to make your own route.
Here’s what you’ll need to start putting the pedal to the pavement.
Make it your own
