This April, we have so many ways to celebrate biking in Greater New Orleans! If you’re one of the many people who have just recently started riding a bike, excited to get back in to riding, or one of the many people that ride everyday, we’ve got some great ways for you to enjoy your rides.

If you haven’t yet, sign up for the Bike Easy April Challenge, presented by Entergy. It’s free, fun, and a great way to support and connect with the local biking community. Be sure to invite your family and friends!
