Our Mission
Krewe des Bicyclettes exists to Ride! Revel! and Rally!

🎭 REVEL! Carnival is just one facet of our revelry! We celebrate bicycle culture all year long with group rides and gatherings. One of our favorites? Fête Ghisallo! A ride to honor the patron saint of cyclists.
⚡ RALLY! Krewe des Bicyclettes is supports the grassroots movement transforming New Orleans into a city built for bicycles. We mobilize bicyclist into a force for advocacy, pushing for safer streets and better infrastructure.
