👍👍 I just stopped in to test drive one of Larry's ebikes, and loved it! He was super knowledgeable and patient with the questions I had. There is also a ton of value in buying local, with something like this, because you can service it with him if/when that time arises. People often mention bike, Larry, bikes, shop, service,

    My wife and I stumbled upon this place and we're glad we did! Other bike rental places could not accommodate us like Ride THIS Bike did. Their location, availability, and hours were the best. We showed up without a reservation and within 10 minutes we were on wheels. The only thing better than riding a bike is renting it from this friendly, well-equipped outfit.

    supercool shop and a supercool owner. i had no inclination to buy a bike until i wandered into the store to look around. as i was visiting from PA the guy took care of everything including shipping... also made a "choice" recommendation for dinner - GW Fins!!!

    Nice small shop for bike rentals. We’ve rented from other shops here while visiting in the past. The bikes here are better quality with gearshift, big tires, & better seats. The rental price is higher but worth the cost to save your back and butt. Some of the other places may cost less but the bikes are all beat to hell and not fun to ride. You get what you pay for. We’ll be back again! Thank you!

    Wow what an awesome bicycling experience we had buying a bike here. The owner Larry and staff, Josh, are extremely friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to biking and New Orleans. They answered all our questions and even let us test out a few bikes so we could determine which one we liked the most. Due to apartment space restrictions we knew we needed a foldable bike. Not only did we find a great bike we were happy with and met our needs, Larry and Josh helped equip us so we had a safer ride and protect our investment from theft. I see why they have so many great reviews and that is the very reason why I gave them a try. We are a satisfied new bike owner. We considered buying on Amazon, but that is WYSIWYG and where do you go for service later when you need it. You cant beat a place that rents, sells and also provides service. Thank you Larry and Josh for everything!!!

    Omg, Larry was SO helpful and knowledgeable! I'm not a cyclist, I don't even know how to ride well, and he gave me great advice and some pointers. Also recommended the best kept secret wine place in New Orleans (ask him, I'm keeping it a secret 😉)

    My chain snapped on my way back from work and this was the closest bike shop. Although the store was closing, the owner Larry was so gracious to check his stock for a replacement chain. Very friendly and thanks again for helping me out.

    My wife and I rented bikes at this excellently located store in the French Quarter and had a great experience exploring the exceptional bike paths and bikable streets ( just watch out for potholes) that New Orleans offers. Larry was very helpful in meeting our needs as far as making appropriate bikes available and then suggesting routes. New Orleans is one of the most bike friendly cities in the US. There are extensive bike paths on each side of the Mississippi River, as well as along Lake Pontchartrain all connected by a greenway with a dedicated bike path (Lafitte Greenway) There is a very convenient ferry that takes bikes and pedestrians across the river very close to the bike store. Larry was a pleasure to deal with.

    This is the worst bike shop in central New Orleans. The service is terrible. They charged me $11 for a $6 bike tube and then had the audacity to try to charge $1 per tube to use the pump. What a joke.

    I’ve never in my life had customer service as good at any bike shop ever. They are actually nice. Very refreshing.

    Extremely rude didn’t hear a word I said to him then said find a closer shop...the worst part is I live far away and only called this one because I’d gotten good service on a unique bike that’s hard to get repaired...definitely won’t be returning again.

    Knowledgeable. Friendly. Reasonably priced, especially for niche bikes.

    My wife and I were riding our bikes to a parade on Sunday when her tire blew. We had very little hope a bike shop would be open. Not only was he open, he fixed her bike THAT afternoon, and the price was shockingly inexpensive. To summarize, high quality work, quick turn around, and amazing service. Will only go here from now on

    Larry/RideThisBike was helpful, friendly and reasonably priced.

    Larry knows his bikes! I went in there wanting to find a full size fold up bike and he hooked me up. The guy has something for everyone! You won't leave there disappointed!

  • 5/5 Antonio J. 2 years ago on Google
    Larry is a formidable businesses man and is also a creditable mechanic. His selection of bikes and bike support is quite impressive. He carries fashionable and useful electric bikes to die for and the best foldable bikes in the world: Brompton. Oh! And bells, he also has bells!

    This is a fantastic bike shop. I purchased a bike here because I was having trouble finding one short enough for my body second hand. Larry had the perfect bike for me at a reasonable price, and walked me through how to register it on line so I could recover it if stolen. Came in today for a one-month tune up for free, and Larry fixed my issue within 10 minutes. Couldnt recommend this place enough. great service

    This shop has helped me out more times than I can remember. My bike is my transportation and practically an appendage but I feel safe leaving it in their care. Instead of being overpriced especially in the Quarter, the prices are fair. Also instead of automatically trying to talk me in to something they give me options to chose from. They are down to earth instead of talking down and I really appreciate that. They are laid back professionals and I highly recommended giving them your business

    I would first like to take the time out and say how unprofessional Mr Larry is !!! I did business in the past and wasn’t really happy because he doesn’t communicate very well but this time it was worst … I called Mr Larry on Thursday about some rims that he has I wanted to purchase from him and he told me that he would need to check on the price to let me know how much they would cost me no return call so I called and left him a message on Saturday and now it’s Monday still without a return call ….. Mr Larry should not lie to anyone if he’s not gonna return your …. I would t recommend this bike shop to no
