If you’re in the mood to get out and about, discover new parts of the neighborhood at the speed of sound, then you’re in luck! Montreal is North America’s biking capital!

If you don’t have your own bike, no need to worry. The Bixi station on Jean-Brillant Street, behind the Maison de la Culture will serve as your starting point. Unlock a bike at the terminal with a credit card or with the mobile app.

Do you like life in the fast lane? We suggest an itinerary designed to keep your heart rate up. Hop on a BIXI and head over to Second Cup for a hit of caffeine—the perfect boost before tackling the neighborhood’s steep hills.

Next, make a quick pit stop at Couche-Tard to stock up on essentials: a bottle of water, a protein bar, or a little sweet treat. Before you really get going, you could also grab a bite at Mstar, a spot offering sandwiches with European, Asian, and North American flavors.

For the grand finale, hit Remembrance Road, which runs along the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery, for a feeling of total freedom on two wheels.
