Vélo Québec - The Montréal Bike Fest 2012 (officielle)

The Montréal Bike Fest: a heavenly week!

Stop and think about it for a minute: a city without cars, where the biking is carefree! Wow! For the thousands of Montrealers who pedal year-round, it’s a piece of paradise.

That’s why the Montreal Bike Fest, with its festive celebrations like Un Tour la Nuit and Tour de l’Île de Montréal, is beginning to look like a biking high mass - an almost sacred gathering where time seems to stand still. In addition to these popular events is the Metropolitan Challenge - for those who want to push themselves a little further - as well as Operation Bike-to-Work, which is gaining new daily biking fans every year. Get ready to experience a week in paradise.
