The wind off the St. Lawrence lifts as the ferry nudges away from the Québec City pier, the Château Frontenac shrinking to a rooftop silhouette while your guide checks e‑bike settings. Within minutes you’re on a river-side ribbon of asphalt, the city on one shoulder and open water on the other — a ride that trades stairs and cobblestones for long views and steady pedaling.
