BIKING

Montreal is an extremely cyclist-friendly city with many dedicated bike lanes. Biking is the best way to get around, and perfect for venue hopping. BIXI, the city’s public bike system, has stations located across the city, including near almost all venues and hotels. A 24-hour BIXI-pass costs $5 and a 72-hour pass costs $12. Both deals give you access to unlimited bike rides as long as you keep your trips under 30 minutes. Visit montreal.bixi.com for more info on fares and routes.
