Biking to Bars on Bourbon

Johnny White's Bar on Bourbon Street with bike out front

While I was in New Orleans for Jazz Festival and ChazFest last week, I spent some time in the French Quarter during the morning taking photo. Yes, this photo was taken in the morning. There are bars that have never closed in that city since there is no 'official' last call.

One of the things that I realized during this trip is how many people were on bike. For most artist or locals, they find that they only need a bike to get around. Finding a parking spot in the quarter is a like an act of magic, so it is not a bad idea to just be able to lock your bike up.

Local probably spend more money on their locks (as my Brother Bill pointed out) than on the bikes. Hey man, you need to keep your ride safe. Even the pigeons in this photo look like they might take off with the bike if it wasn't locked.
