Really? Lets flip the switch and say it was a group of black bicyclists riding through a predominantly white area an done gets shot in similar fashion. Now apply your same statement to that scenario.

I will say that would be national news. This is probably barely local news.

This will warrant a mention of local news stations and then be forgotten.
You are attempting to reverse the scenario, but the opposite doesn't exist.

there is the Lafitte Greenway, city park paths, river levee paths, lakefront paths, etc.
With all these paths I don't get why this guy was in the east. How far up the river are the levee paths paved?

No serious cyclist is using the greenway or city park. They head out that way to get to Chef Highway. It's a good stretch to haul some miles.

You can ride the levee from the Fly all the way to Destrahan, about 10 or 15 miles past the Luling Bridge. its about a 50 or 60 mile ride round trip. I used to do it once a week a few years ago.

Bullard Avenue
When I lived out there I thought this was the safer of the interstate connection roads. You couldn't pay me enough money to walk down Read late at night.

I read a few comments on page one, but I'll fill everyone in.
There is a route from Lakefront, to Hayne, to the end's right turn (Paris?), on the interstate for a second, exit and then go under the interstate, right on the service road and to Chef.
Turn around a Venetian and head back on Chef, same service road before I-10, under interstate to the service road in front of the car dealerships, right on Bullard, left on Hayne, and back to the lakefront.
This ride has been happening for probably close to twenty years. Maybe more. Maybe less. I've been doing it for a decade. We generally have safety in numbers. Yes, it's a "different" area, but we are usually blitzing through at 24-28mph. It is a fast-paced, race style ride.

You get on the interstate for a second on bicycles?

Let's flip the switch and say aliens landed, took up biking, decided to ride past some Buddhist monasteries and a monk riding a dragon appeared from the fog and decimated them all. If we are going to make up situations that will never happen we might as well have some fun with it!

Where are you crossing the Industrial Canal on your eastbound leg, on the Danziger Bridge?
If you're riverbound on Paris Ave, you can turn left on Gentilly Blvd (which is Hwy 90), cross the Danzinger, and Gentilly turns into Chef Menteur Hwy (still Hwy 90).
Riding a bicycle and getting on 10 or 610 anywhere out there seems pretty suicidal. And illegal. But mostly suicidal.
I understand the westbound leg. Chef towards the city, lake bound on Bullard to Hayne. West on Hayne past Lakefront Airport and over the Seabrook Bridge, back to Leon C. Simon or Lakeshore Dr.

Not defending the east. Just not looking at is as a whole. There are good areas in the east with good people. Then may 2 blocks over its an entire different story. There are a lot of areas in N.O the same way.

Yes. Usually 30-50 of us. It's a pretty short stretch, but yes it is kind of dumb.

New Orleans is such a family friendly place to live.

They should have called in a medevac and got out and then a airstrike on the place.
