Questions About our Bikes/Biking in New Orleans

Is a helmet included? Do I have to wear a helmet?

While helmets are not required in the city of New Orleans we will provide you with one and encourage you to use it.

Is this tour appropriate for children?

In general, our tours are great for kids 8 years of age and older.

For children up to 12 years old or 100lbs (45kg), we have 2 wheeled tandem trailers. The passenger sits on a seat and can pedal or coast. All riders over 100lbs (45kg) must ride their own bicycle. We have various smaller sized mountain bikes for those able to ride on their own.

We do not have any adult tricycles or bikes with training wheels for adults that may be less confident in their riding ability. Please let us know if you would like one of our tandems, trailers, baby seats, or child bikes in advance that you’d like to reserve either a child seat or trailer.

Important Note: All child bikes use hand brakes, there are no pedal brakes available.

What should I bring with me on the tour?

We’ll stop for a coffee/tea at a local café (cost of purchases not included in the tour), so be sure to bring some extra cash.

How should I dress?

Comfortable clothes are recommended, and there is no need to wear full biking gear.  Please dress for the weather and be prepared to be in the sun. Closed toed shoes are highly recommended.

It also gets very, very hot in New Orleans, so we recommend bringing an extra water bottle along.

Is this tour offered in any other languages, or only English?

All scheduled tours are in English, but private tours can sometimes be scheduled in other languages, given we have a tour guide who speaks the language of your choice.

Will we enter the museums and monuments that we see?

Unfortunately, we won’t have enough time during this tour to allow everyone to enter the various museums. We will, however, provide you with the best information to go back and see the places that interest you most following the tour.  This tour is designed to experience the city from a broad perspective.

How big will my group be?

Our tours operate in groups of 8 guests or less.  If your party is larger than 8, the group will be split up for safety reasons, each with a guide.  For larger parties, please inquire about a private tour at privatetours@fattiretours.com.
