Ranked sixth in the nation for bike commuters, New Orleans is becoming one of the most active cycling cities in the country. And cyclists say more areas of the city need to be bicycle friendly.
"It's very bike friendly as far as getting around. As far as safety, it's not safe yet. And I say yet because I have high hopes for it," said Shelley Bourgeois, a member of the Metro Bicycle Coalition.
Cyclists cite close calls with both cars and pedestrians.
But some of those situations, police say, stem from cyclists disobeying traffic laws.
