RideTHISbike

RideTHISbike is a French Quarter bicycle shop that grew into a neighborhood business after Hurricane Katrina. Located on Dauphine Street, it sells and services a wide mix of bicycles, from cruisers and city bikes to mountain and racing models. Folding bikes from Brompton and Montague share the selection with electric models, including Blaupunkt and Greaser e-bikes.

The shop also maintains bicycles used for rentals and electric-bike tours, giving visitors a chance to ride through New Orleans without bringing their own equipment. Its staff mechanics handle everyday repairs, and customers have described small acts of help such as a quick chain fix. Larry has been remembered for setting up a City Cruiser and suggesting routes beyond the busiest tourist streets, including the Lafitte Greenway toward City Park.

For someone choosing an electric bike, the shop offers in-person guidance as well as workshop support after purchase. Tour and rental options give newcomers another way to get comfortable on two wheels. RideTHISbike remains a cycling business rather than a motor-scooter repair shop, combining a neighborhood service counter with ways to explore the city by bicycle or e-bike.
