Edit: a bunch of my post got truncated...

Mont Royal looms over downtown at an elevation of 764 feet, and is the site of multiple universities, including a campus of Universite de Montréal

Maybe i'm misinterpreting this, but it sounds a bit misleading. The university is on the slopes of the hill, nowhere near the top

In general, this article is a bit premature. The winter cycling pilot was limited to downtown and a few other boroughs and not the whole regular network... And we also benefited from a very mild winter. Not sure if we can declare a "year round cycling success story", just yet

That being said, this is good news and i hope to be able to use the bixi in the winter next year (i live in one of the boroughs that didnt have winter coverage)

There is only one hill, what goes up must come down!
