Ride on a city bike while staying the week in New Orleans for our 40th wedding anniversary. Ann and I took the streetcar to City Park, which is a large park in a kinda suburban area, away from downtown. The bikes were supposed to be electric-assist, and mine was as we took off from the bike pickup location, but Ann's wasn't. So we switched and rode around the lower portion of the park, not crossing the highway to get to the northern portion. Lots of loops in and around the park on bike paths, sidewalks, and access roads. Near the end, I felt one of my gloves come out of my hoodie pocket and discovered that I had lost the other one earlier. So we retraced our route, slowly, until I found it. Great! Ann was ready to be done by that time. With the electric assist, she was able to keep up pretty well, and when she went steadily in front of me, it was a workout on the non-assist bike to keep up with her.
Avg speed = 8.1 mph. Total mileage = 10.4 mi
