New Orleans Creole History and Culture Ride
We want to share with you the New Orleans that made us who we are, as we bike through the historic and colorful neighborhoods of the Marigny, By water and St Roch.
It's not just the beauty of the streets, it's the stories they tell us, and we share with you. The street parades, the music, the food, the culture of inclusiveness, the creativity we can all be part of and the art we are surrounded by is no fluke, it is the product of the 300 years of history and culture that came before us. and these are what we will talk about at the many stops along the way.
Our tours are for any age, we cater our stories to each groups interests. The rifing is easy on flat and quiet streets, We bike slow, we bike happy, we wave to traffic and we stop to talk. That is what we would be doing if our company did not exist, so that is what we do since it does.
Feel Free to ask us anything, we are always here for you with advice for your trip, both before and after your tour.
Thanks,
Jeff and Danny

What's included in New Orleans Creole History and Culture Ride
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Washington Square Park
A beautiful park, dating back to the early 1800's, lined with Louisiana's majestic oak trees is where we get to know one another. Located right next to Frenchmen Street, where our best music clubs are, we will orient you to the city and to the deep history that will give to the context to make the rest of the stories you hear make sense. And a great place to bike a practice lap if it's been awhile.
Faubourg Marigny
The sight is the old Creole neighborhoods themselves. The Marigny is the oldest of the 'suburbs' surrounding the French Quarter, and we get the feeling from the streets and people as we bike slowly through the quiet streets. Dating back 200 years with architecture and vibes that try to remain the same despite the modern world coming at us, this is where the people who play your music and cook your great food live. A very local area that all are welcome in.
Bywater Historic District
Besides the beauty of the neighborhood itself, we will have stops at a few places important to us that explain who we are. We will see the spot of the nation changing Plessy vs Ferguson case, the levee wall and Missisppi River, and examples of local art and spots where our favorite music comes from. These neighborhoods are all changing before our eyes, we embrace both the past and present with y'all, because both are pretty amazing.
