This is a great resource for commuting info. I have been a bike commuter for 35 years, car free for the last 20, and still learn a new thing or two here.
I live in New Orleans, LA USA and have extensive miles here. I have also toured all over the USA (coast to coast once, "Mexico" to Canada four different routes), so I feel I can compare other places to NOLA pretty well.
1/3 of our population do not drive cars. Many of them bike to get where they need to go. 365 days of biking no prob, unless a hurricane is on us. We all wear our street/work clothes on our bikes. NOLA is probably the only city in the USA that makes you feel like you are in Europe and Jamaica at the same time.
I have loads of vidos of my rides in New Orleans online. My sigpic is the gateway.
Cheers!
