About the host city:

Located along the banks of the Mississippi River, New Orleans is the most unique city in the United States, a place rich in history, culture, food and music. The historic neighborhoods of New Orleans offer residents and visitors a vibrant and enjoyable urban environment, whether along the narrow streets of the French Quarter or under the oak trees of Uptown. Spring in New Orleans brings countless festivals, crawfish season and amazing weather to enjoy the city's great outdoor spaces; including Jackson Square, Audubon Zoo, City Park or the Mississippi River Trail. Already one of America's best kept bicycling secrets, it's easy to see why New Orleans is best seen on two wheels.
