Bicycle shop in the New Orleans French Quarter. Bicycle accessory & bike sales, service, rentals & tours.

Story

Hurricane Katrina's toll was the genesis for our bike shop. It was an event that causes one to evaluate their life and whether what they're doing is making a difference.

Before Katrina, there was a bike shop in the French Quarter but the owner had died. I felt that the best way to continue sharing the fun and satisfaction that comes from cycling was to start a new bike shop. So RideTHISbike began doing business from a brick and mortar store in the French Quarter.

While many of our customers are locals, RideTHISbike caters to visitors as well as online shoppers across the country. Our Brompton and Montague foldng bikes are quite popular; however, we sell and service all types of bicycles including beach cruisers, mountain bikes, street bikes and racing bikes.

In addition to bike sales and service, RideTHISbike offers bike tours and bike rentals. To maximize your enjoyment, an assortment of bikes are available for use during your tour or rental and all bikes are maintained by our staff of competent mechanics. Our guides are fun, licensed and knowledgeable so expect to have a great time.
