Not Just Bikes on YouTube does a simultaneously loving and hateful video on Montreal biking. If I remember correctly, he basically says it's a very small region of Montreal that is bikeable, and that it's really piecemeal between neighborhoods as to what the infrastructure looks like. There was also something about disconnection from certain metro lines, but I don't remember the details on that clearly.
Also, I need to say out loud to someone that Guadalajara is in North America too... Wonder how it compares with Montreal for biking, given that they're somehow not on the same list?
tbf since that video Montreal has gotten significantly better, and the places he complained about not being connected to transit have since been connected to the network by the new light metro.
The image shows that Montréal is in 15th place worldwide while Guadalajara is n.73
That's great to hear! You're reigniting my desire to move to Montreal.... If it was a Spanish speaking city instead of French I think I'd already be there.
The video had mentioned that the city was considering more car-free summer streets. Do you know if that has that come to fruition?
