montreal island bike route map

When we ride crosstown it can be more pleasant to use bike paths. The challenge is knowing where the bike paths/routes are located, because sometimes it isn't obvious.

Here is a link to one of the better Montreal island bike route maps from the Ville de Montreal (pdf, zoomable).

We are waiting for an updated map for 2010.

Until then we will ponder what a bike path/route is. It's one of three things. A cycling facility is a path, a shoulder, or a shared road. Read the Transport Quebec's descriptions at the MTQ website. There is lots of interesting reading here.
