A Conversation About Bike Safety In New Orleans

Cycling advocates and mourners held a vigil and installed a ghost bike memorial this Saturday, to honor two bicyclists whow were killed on March 2, just after the Mardi Gras Endymion parade. Seven other people were injured in an alleged drunk driving crash on Esplanade Avenue.

Attorney Charlie Thomas is a bike advocate - his work has been recognized by the local group Bike Easy. WWNO's Karl Lengel sat down with Thomas to discuss challenges when it comes to biker safety, and solutions like Connect the Crescent.

 

 

Karl Lengel worked at New Orleans Public Radio for more than two decades before leaving the station in 2023.
