From the Associated Press — “New roads post-storm make New Orleans cycling city”:

“A lot of my gripes have been resolved,” said [biking blogger Joseph] Donnelly, who started cycling in the 1970s and ditched his last car for good in 1989. “When I started the blog in 2006, there was not a single bicycle lane anywhere in New Orleans. Before Katrina, the roads were dangerous for everyone.”

You might remember Joe Donnelly’s bike blog as the one that (in)famously gives advice on running red lights.
