The Copenhagenize Report
Montreal is North America’s premiere bicycle city and comes in at number eight. The city has had bicycle infrastructure since the mid-80s, which should embarrass other cities on that continent, and the rebirth of bicycle culture is noticeable across the city. A strong, successful bike-sharing programme has been implemented and a strong advocacy NGO, together with some visionary politicians, make the bicycle's future in Montreal look rosy.

Copenhagenize Fixes
It’s time for the impressive network of bike infrastructure to be expanded, because funneling the many cyclists down single streets is not the best way to encourage more cycling. In addition, we recommend that Montreal graduates from bi-directional on-street bike lanes and put infrastructure on both sides of the street, like the recent Laurier East redesign. Improving the selection of bicycles on the market to include European style bicycles will encourage more Citizen Cyclists to ride. And regarding your winters, why isn't Bixi year round?
