No matter how much we try to prepare, it always seems to sneak up on us, and suddenly it’s hard to keep everything straight. With that in mind, we are sending you a guide to this year’s Purple Way in the hopes it makes getting around a little easier through through Fat Tuesday:
Be sure to review Bike Easy’s Mardi Gras Safe Riding Tips
If you need turn by turn directions, or want to add your recommendations; check out Bike Streets
And don’t miss all the great things Blue Bikes is offering this year!
In addition to expanding their fleet (Yay!), Blue Bikes is also expanding their service area to Jefferson Ave between Lasalle St and Tchopitoulas St, and even offering promo codes for select parades. For the codes and map, click here and scroll to the Blue Bikes section.
Last but not least, this year’s Purple Way Guide also includes the City’s map with public toilets, first aid stations and more, as well as the RTA’s Mardi Gras Guide for anyone navigating parades by transit.
We hope this guide helps make your Deep Gras a little easier to get around, whether you are going to parades, or simply trying to live your day-to-day with minimal disruption.
Happy Carnival!
Bike Easy Team
