 And locals and businesses throughout the Crescent City are searching for ways to become even healthier — and stay that way. According to a recent study by BetterDoctor.com, a web-based healthcare tool that makes it easy to find a great doctor, New Orleans ranks as the No. 6 most bike-friendly city in the nation. The study evaluated U.S. cities based on how many commuters bike to work, the number of fatalities per 10,000 bike commuters and federal dollars spent per capita on bike-friendly infrastructure. So now that the weather is nice, it’s time to hop on your bike and explore all that the city has to offer. Better yet?
