It was my first time in Canada and I'm hoping it wasn't the last. I didn't have lots of time to explore, only really 1.5 days before heading on to Ottawa. Although the pictures don't show it, it was torrential; but I still had a great time wizzing around on my little Brompton. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I guess similar to the tales about the U.S and car culture. I was pleasently surprised though as Montral is home to hundreds of kms cycle lanes.
