Bicycling around New Orleans
Inspired by the article New Orleans: Rolling by the river at http://www.cnn.com/2007/TRAVEL/getaways/10/18/new.orleans.bikes
On Sunday afternoon, Ka Yun, Mitch, and I went bicycling for 4 hours. I had never seen New Orleans on bike before, and it was fun!
Starting on at Michael's bike shop on Frenchmen St., up Esplanade, passing by New Orleans Museum of Art, eventually in and out of City Park, just short of Lake Pontchartrain. Afterwards, we bike to the Garden District and hung out at a cafe. On the way back, my bike tire went flat, hence giving me a pedaling workout.
I estimate that we biked ~10 miles. The streets were mostly empty, as most people were watching the Saints football game, which gave us an opportunity to rule the roads for a beautiful sunny afternoon with cool breezes :)
