Canada

Starting from the Jacques Cartier bridge, we biked a loop of Montreal via La Piste de la Riveraine on the South Shore, the St. Lawrence Seaway dyke, and the Ice Bridge! An amazing ride thanks to the wonderful cycling infrastructure in Montreal.

A classic Montreal bike ride along the Lachine Canal! On Brompton bicycles, of course.

Day 2 on Le ’tit Train du Nord includes an unwelcome detour! Ste-Agathe -> Ste-Adèle -> St-Jérôme

In Spring 2022, we biked Le P’tit Train du Nord, an old railway turned trail. This is Day 1 from Mont-Tremblant to Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.

Is it possible to get to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, via public transit? It’s not easy, but we did it!

We travelled to Montreal for the GO Bike Festival and took part in Tour La Nuit & Tour de l’Île. AMAZING rides – incredibly fun crowd of 18,000+ participants, neighbours out to cheer us on, banging musical acts, and even a ride through the Olympic Stadium.

We hadn’t yet done a big bike trip this year, so when a friend asked if we wanted to bike all the way to Paradise Beach in Ajax, 50km east of Toronto, we said sure!

En route to visit family, we often make a quick pit stop in Orangeville. But this year we decided to stay a bit longer and cycle the Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail!

On what will probably be the last warm “coats-optional” weekend of 2020 in Canada, we cycled the Beltline Trail in Toronto.

We took our Bromptons to explore the wild juxtaposition that is The Spit – half construction dumping zone, half protected wildlife park – in the heart of downtown Toronto.
