About

In the first half of our Montréal bike tour, we show you some of our main interests like the majestic mountain park we locals simply call the Mountain. We see an abundant amount of mural art in a funky hood produced by our local and creative talent. Our city is a street art leader.

We take you to the heart of the entertainment district, le Quartier des Spectacles, where Montréal’s best festivals take place. We cruise by the old Red Light and Montréal’s Gay Village, our Gaybourhood. We have a reputation for being a party city. This city is the cultural capital of Canada, find out why along the way!

We’ll be checking out the river from a great vantage point away from the tourist crowds of Old Montréal. We sometimes can forget we live on an island. Next, we explore the charming Plateau neighbourhood by bike. After a lunch picnic ( and cheeky craft beer) in an off the beaten path park, follow your guide through typical staircase decorated residential streets, the most beautiful parks in Montréal, and the back green alleys of the boroughs we call home. To understand Montréal is to understand our neighbourhoods with a local. You’ll cover many hoods in a short amount of time and will get your bearings for the remainder of your stay.

Our bicycles are made by a local bike shop giving new life to old frames by rebuilding them right here in Montréal. Everything we do is keep it local. Our recommendations list will help you explore more of the best restaurants and bars in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can kids join?

We love kids but our bikes are sized for teens sized 4 ft 8 and up. Consider taking the little ones on a walking tour.

• How difficult of a ride is this? Can I handle it?

We’re not racing. We ride, stop, talk and repeat. There’s a sit down lunch break. You need to know how to ride at a decent pace, there is one hill you can walk if you’re not up for pedalling it. Don’t book your aunt a tour if she hasn’t been on a bike since she was 8. She won’t like you and neither will we 😉

• Does this tour go rain or shine?

Yes, dress accordingly. If there is a monsoon or dangerous weather we reserve the right to cancel the outing. Otherwise, we ride as pack, a wet pack.

• Should I leave my guide a tip?

Yes, if they did a good job it is customary to drown them in money.
