Hello From Montreal – Part 11 – A Chat With Andr Giroux Owner Of a Roule Bicyle Rentals
had thoroughly enjoyed my guided bicycle tour with a Roule and Bruno, a licensed city guide from Guidatour, really introduced Montreal up close to us. And my own independent explorations of the bicyle trail along the Lachine Canal introduced me to a side of Montreal I had never been exposed to. After returning my bike after a full day of exercise I wanted to find out a bit more about who is behind this operation, a Roule, or Montreal on Wheels, as it is known in English.
Montreal, by the way, is a fabulous city to explore by bicycle. The Old Port area, the bicycle path network along the Lachine Canal and alongside the St. Lawrence River, as well as the islands of Ile St. Hlne and Parc Jean Drapeau in the St. Lawrence are eminently bikeable. Of course the trail network on Mont Royal also adds some interesting terrain for cycling enthusiasts and many of Montreal’s quaint neighbourhoods lend themselves perfectly to be discovered en vlo. Montreal was actually voted the number 1 city for bicyclists in 1999 by Bicycling magazine.
