Montreal: A Biking Tour through Montreal's Neighbourhoods

July , 2006 -- Canada Day celebrations in Montreal: The festivities were unbelievable. I got an early start and explored Vieux Montreal before I participated in the Official Montreal bicycle tour where a certified tourist guide took our entire group through various neighbourhoods of Montreal. Bruno introduced us to the major sights as well as to the beautiful and unique living areas of this diverse city. As an avid bicyclist I was delighted when I was able to keep the bike after our tour finished and I continued on my own on the extensive bicycle trail network along the Lachine Canal. I enjoyed a re-energizing lunch at the historic Marché Atwater and had a nice chat with a local. After I returned my bike I sat down and talked with the owner of the Ça Roule bicycle shop about his business and about bicycling opportunities in Montreal.

@bulldogbarks55 lol you need to go back ive lived in both cities for many years and I am english as well but prefer Montreal a hundred times over. Toronto is too square and lacks a lot.

My only visit to Montreal was to see a hockey game at the Forum and it was during a transit strike. Cabs were hard to find. And because I knew just a little French some shopkeepers were quite rude to me. I snapped at one man and used the universal words "FU". But mostly folks were nice. Because my ancestry is English I have to say I much prefer Toronto. I feel more at home there. And Maple Leaf Gardens was a treasure of a building. You felt like you were in a great cathedral at MLG. Go Leafs Go!

@gairero Probably the cheapest 1st world Major city to live in on the planet. I came from Toronto & I noticed the prices immediately. Everything is cheaper...everything. Just make sure you can speak french. Great city to live , shit city to work.

I live in Plattsburgh NY about 1hr from Montreal, 1hr from burlington VT and 2.5 hours form Albany. Montreal is better known to me than any other north American city and NOTHING Compares!
