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.

In order to be fit for the journey, you must first be well fed! Discover Pastavita’s wide menu on chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges. Their pasta with savoury sauces as well as their sandwiches and burgers will certainly give you enough energy for the road. Hydrating is just as important, which is why we invite you to sip a fresh bubble tea at L2 for dessert. Mix your drink with milk or sirop, add tapioca or fruit pearls… The possibilities are endless! Your next stop is Pharmaprix, located to the South, on the corner of chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges and chemin Queen Mary. This will serve as a last pit stop. Equip yourself with a granola bar and off to the mountain we go! That’s right, this itinerary ends at park Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne, just behind Université de Montréal. To access it, take chemin Queen Mary followed by avenue Troie and make your way through the paths that will lead you to the park. Once you’re there, take a moment the relax on a bench and enjoy the view. You could also have a look at the Belvédère Outremont which is just adjacent, located at the top of an old ski slope!

*Because road and mountain bikes are not allowed in the park, we recommend you leave your bike by the entrance. If you are riding a Bixi, you may leave it at one of the Bixi stations nearby (Bd. Édouard-Montpetit & Avenue de Stirling intersection or on Bd. du Mont-Royal, near Avenue Vincent D’Indy).
