Montreal Bike Paths open on April 1

Montreal area bike paths open on April 1 2007.

This means that we can have safer routes to travel through Montreal when we use our bikes.

This doesn't apply to the Rachel street bike path, which in my opinion is much too dangerous to be called a safer way for bikes to travel through Montreal.

Starting this year. bike paths are open another 30 days of the year, from April 1 to November 15. Happily this year they co-ordinated with the jacques Cartier bridge to reopen the bridge's bike/pedestrian sidewalk. This bridge takes you the 5 km from Montreal across the Saint Laurence river to the south shore, and many great places to ride and lots of great loop rides.

Enjoy 2007!
