Whether you ride a road bike, a mountain bike, a single-speed, or a fixie, going out for tour around Montreal will always be fun and exhilarating. With wonderful urban and nature views, the city never disappoints. Montreal can be explored through biking by both beginners and experts at riding.

Peter Triassi is a Montreal native who has biked around Quebec quite a few times. According to him, locals and tourists can enjoy upward climbs and incredibly satisfying descents in Parc Mont Royal. To ride up the main slope, it would take a biker about 20 to 40 minutes. The top offers a panoramic view of the Montreal, extending to areas beyond the city.

Explore downtown Montreal to reach Bois de l’Île Bizard, reaching a combination of beaches, marshland, and woods. The island at the northwestern tip of Montreal can be toured for a full day on a bike—with a few picnic and café stops, of course. While, dominated by residential and main roads, Parc de la Visitation will be worth the ride when one reaches the banks of the Saint Lawrence River. 
 
Diverse landscapes and a range of geography sits between Montreal and Quebec, which makes cycling routes incredibly pleasing. According to Peter Triassi, Montreal’s Lachine Canal provides urban green spaces throughout the OId Port, the Atwater Market and many more. Bikers of all levels using beginner bikes to professional road bikes can ride through the route. Experienced cyclists often incorporate the route in their daily commute.
