The smell of lilac blossoms is in the air, BIXI stands have sprung up everywhere, and all traces of snow have finally vanished from our (mostly) great city, including that 10-cm-thick wet blanket that dropped on us last week... but we won't talk about that. All of this means that biking season has at last begun in earnest in Montreal. Yes, many of us cycled all winter, apart from those few days when the weather was so miserable that only a serious masochist would consider getting on a bike. But for the next six months, biking will be more than a means of transportation: it will once more be a pleasure, at least on most days (and most routes).
So, with the return of cycling for fun, I've decided to launch a blog on cycling in Montreal. Or at least, a blog on cycling. I can't promise that all posts will be related to Montreal cycling; I may occasionally rant about cycling in general, or write about cycle touring in other locales. But if you like riding bikes for practical reasons as well as for fun, hopefully you'll find something of interest posted on here every once in a while.
Maybe once a week? I don't know, come back and find out.
