Bike Rental: See all of New Orleans' French Quarter in 1 Hour
Overview
Why walk when you can ride? Discover New Orleans' famous French Quarter in just an hour for less than a one-hour bike-share ride!
The French Quarter is compact, but its historic streets stretch for miles. Our comfortable bicycles let you explore much more of this fascinating neighborhood than you could on foot.
Unlike app-based bike-share, your bicycle is reserved at a specific time and location. No struggling with an app, hunting for an available bike, or arriving to discover it's gone or out of service. Your bicycle will be waiting, cleaned after its previous use and ready to ride!
We've been renting bicycles in New Orleans for nearly 20 years. Our friendly staff are local cyclists happy to recommend scenic routes, historic landmarks, restaurants, and hidden gems.
No bike-share scavenger hunts, locking fees, or per-minute charges. Just a clean, comfortable bicycle, a complimentary helmet, and an hour to enjoy New Orleans at your own pace!
What's Included
- Comfortable 1 spd pedal bicycle (cleaned between rentals) w/wide saddle, bell & basket.
- Pick up and drop off not available. all rentals begin in the Quarter at 223 Dauphine St.

What To Expect
Discover the charm of New Orleans' historic French Quarter on two wheels!
With its colorful architecture, lively streets, famous landmarks, and 15 mph speed limit, the French Quarter is perfect for exploring by bicycle.
At roughly one mile across and half a mile deep, the "Quarter" is compact. Yet its street grid stretches approximately 10 miles, making it tiring to explore entirely on foot. On a bicycle, you can cover far more ground in just an hour, leisurely riding past historic homes, Jackson Square, the French Market, the Mississippi River, and more.
Ride at your own pace, take in the sights and sounds, and experience New Orleans up close without the expense of a guided tour.
This affordable, one-hour rental includes a comfortable pedal bicycle and a complimentary helmet (optional for adults). An hour is ideal for sightseeing on two wheels, rather than stopping for a meal or drinks. Bicycle locks are not provided, so plan to stay with your bicycle throughout the ride. There's plenty of time to enjoy the Quarter's famous restaurants and bars afterward!
Want to know the best route? Our staff are cyclists, and we've been renting bicycles in New Orleans for nearly 20 years. We're happy to share our local knowledge, whether you're looking for the best streets to explore, a great place to eat, or other things to see and do. Just ask when you arrive!
