Bicycling in Montreal

Montreal is bike friendly:

Montreal was rated the number one cycling city in North America for 1999 by Bicycling magazine. Over 300 km of bike routes and paths are located on the island and more than double that in the surrounding region.

One of the most popular trips is along the Lachine Canal, a paved-15 km recreation path between Old Montreal and Lachine. It forms part of the Pôle des Rapides cycling path network in southwest Montreal.

Parc du Mont-Royal is another favourite biking destination, the 6-km gravel road to the top is a good place for a mid-week workout.
