NEW ORLEANS (press release) – We’re riding our bikes with our friends and family again, and bike lanes are even filling up as many of us enjoy the new 20+ miles of interconnected protected bikeways throughout the city.
This Giving Tuesday, Bike Easy is celebrating How We Bike Easy by launching their month-long end-of-year fundraiser. The organization aims to raise $25,000 to expand the Bike Easy programs.
All month long, Bike Easy be getting back to basics to highlight how their programs help make bicycling easy, safe, and fun for everyone in Greater New Orleans.
Bike Easy shared the following in a press release about Giving Tuesday:
