Tour de L'Ile weekend

Bicycle chaos today as tens of thousands of cyclists ride around Montreal, without much regard for safety or road regulation. I always thing the tour should be a chance to educate thousands of rides about the BASIC PRINCIPLES of bicycle safety and the rules of the road.

I wish for a lot that I never get!

On a positive note, this event makes many less-than-expert cyclists realize that the bicycle is a great method of transportation in the urban environment.

Velo Quebec hosts this event - here's their excellent website (link) THis is the english side of the site. Sometimes more information is in the french side, but bonus points for being bilingual!
