Robi, don't worry.. My legs are spaghetti-ized just from WATCHING you guys ride so far on the bikes. 😂 Thanks, guys, for another fantastic vid! Entertaining and informative. With the panDAMic keeping me away from my beloved New Orleans for nearly two years now (EEEK! 😱), I'm watching your vids to get a fix and soothe my soul. 🥰 I'm hitting the tip jar now. And I encourage everyone to do the same! These guys are working hard for us! 💜 Make a beautiful day! ✌️

[@stephen2wheels]

I biked along the Mississippi River path when I was on the Southern Tier bike route across the country, and I thought that industrial area was fascinating. And to have the path just go right under all those pipes was insane and interesting to me!

[@rachaelmarks3865]

Another great one, guys! I always learn something fascinating from your videos and the visuals are awesome, too. I have to say, I love old houses about as much as anyone can, but often when we go on tours my husband and I have a conversation afterwards about how the tour guide seemed to feel duty-bound to canonize the original builder of the house. Even here up north where people weren't enslaved, it's a bit cringey. Am I interested in who built it? Yeah. Do I think he/she/they were saints who blessed us with their lives just because they had a ton of money and built a big fancy house (more often than not to show up some rival across town's big fancy house)? Eh, not so much. What makes old buildings so fascinating is all the humanity and history that they've witnessed, not just the credentials of the few rich people who built them. I love that you always expand on the basics of a location and give us a view of that humanity. Cheers!

[@stuart1837]

Thank you for the great informative video. I learn so much by watching your videos each time. Robi always keeps it 100, and I love that about him.

Robi! you blessed me with that story of the slaves throwing acorns into the grave of the master. I love Black history but I never heard that story. I love learning about the daily acts of rebellion slaves did because they are often not mentioned leaving ppl to think slaves either ran away or remained docile. The history of poisoning their masters, self-defense, spiritual lives, etc. are rarely shared.

Robi and Andrew, thank you for the outstanding bike tour on the Mississippi River Levee. Your video helped me to revisit my early childhood days. Having been raised in Shrewsbury, your tour gave me a chance to view the sights of yesteryear. My parents, relatives, and many friends are all buried in Ross Church Cemetery(Parapet Cemetery).

[@sherrieshatzen3801]

Y'all are amazing. Thank you. I brought my French copain to New Orleans because it was on his hit list of must see places in the US. He also was under the delusion that everybody spoke French-LOL. We spent a day doing a plantation tour which included Oak Alley & Nottoway. I remember being so disappointed in the lack of information about the slave labor that made all of this possible back in the day. Being raised in the South I was too polite to ask about this omission or make any kind of issue. Alain was totally ignorant on the issue of slavery in the US, so it was hard to discuss any of this with him. Your inclusion of this important part of the history of this area is a much needed addition to the romantic stories of Plantation Life which in no way resemble the true history. Please keep doing what you are doing.

Love that y’all rode bikes to take in all thats missed by driving. In Iowa we have a ride called “The Registers Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa” or ragbrai started by the Des Moines news group The Register... it starts on the Missouri river and ends on the Mississippi with a different route each year, and is the largest touring ride in the world always in the last full week of July. 400-500 miles on average and 7 days long with stops nightly in town who bid for the 10-20k rider ride to stop there. I have completed 15 so I understand the importance of taking in natural beauty by bike! Great video as always, can’t wait for the next episode. Sending venmo love! Y’all need to get rode bikes instead of the cross trainers, even though you’re flat down there, it would help Robi with the long ride lol! Thanks again guys!

Is it possible to do a video about the safest neighborhoods, cost, as well as the pros and cons of living their?!

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Super. Thanks. I want to rent a bike for my upcoming trip and I hate those bixi bikes, they're no good for tall people (seat is too short). You guys have pretty much got New Orleans covered with your videos (you even went to Algier's Point), except maybe one on Vieux Métarie, with those opulent houses (though I prefer the Garden District).

No wonder Robi's legs feel like spaghetti, he's in the wrong gear!

[@daneekatasco119]

What kind of bike was James riding to get them angles

[@FreeToursbyFootHQ]

Not sure. I'll pass this on to him. He was using a drone even for low flying shots.

[@awildahernandez129]

Hey, love you guys together. Interesting fact about the slaves throwing acorns into the grave. Will now look at Oak trees differently. They are so majestic and beautiful.

Why do I feel like we’d be friends for life if we hung out?? LOLOL

[@FreeToursbyFootHQ]

Because they are two likable young men :) Thanks for watching, Caitlin! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please do share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.

why was rum making never a thing in Louisiana?

[@greatcanadianragincajun6493]

Wow that was great!! I was in NOLA for Christmas in 2014. We spent Christmas eve at the SanFransisco Plantation. Is it possible to see that one? Also will you be mentioning Bonfires on the Mississippi for Christmas. Loves your channel and will be sending money when I get back to work from covid. As I am in Canada unfortunately there is no way to visit now.😔

Somebody get Robi an EBike...

People who had slaves were rich -- not that many rich folks though -- most of the population in the south were farmers and could barely get by - let alone buying a slave -- so don't judge the people of the south because of a few misguided rich dudes --- and - not all of them were bad ---- from the proud state of Arkansas --- descendant of poor white farmers -- did you know there were also white slaves -- and some freed black men was given some land - they became rich and bought themselves slaves ----

[@FreeToursbyFootHQ]

Good point.

[@robertwaguespack9414]

So you create a monument to the slave owners?

[@dw7312]

Glossing over slave owners made my stomach and headache 🤕. GROSS!!!!

[@31025alexis]

Wow❤ if I would have known of your channel last year before going to New Orleans . I would sure visit some of the places outside New Orleans . ❤ visit Oak Alley Plantation.

[@FreeToursbyFootHQ]

Glad that you enjoyed the video. Next time, our videos will help you get around NOLA. If you haven't already done so, hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of New Orleans kzbin.info/aero/PLpNEdLF6RWV3oDPK7SD9GOttlhvaGBsh2.There is more where this came from.

This is some of the best I’ve seen on KZbin. I’m just so glad you young men are holding up the true history. Keep up the good work!
