Flat terrain, live oak shade, year-round riding

Top bike shops in Louisiana

Louisiana has 111 local bike shops spread across the state, with the strongest presence in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Mandeville, and Slidell.

Louisiana cyclists embrace the state's flat, scenic landscape and mild winters that allow for extended riding seasons. Road bikes and cruisers dominate the local scene, suited to the region's paved routes through Spanish moss-draped neighborhoods and rural parishes. The warm, humid climate means most serious riding happens in cooler months, while casual, social riding persists year-round.
