Frederick, our guide, took eight of us over a 7 mile tour of some of the classic neighborhoods of Montreal. His love for his hometown truly shines. We took about three hours because he made a point of showing us some classic Montreal native spots such as an immense farmers market filled with luscious locally grow produce. If we were staying long enough to cook, I'd be heading straight back there tomorrow . Frederick is a certified guide and while his knowledge is near encyclopedic, he never drones. He always invites questions and made us laugh a lot. Ask him how poutine got its name. He created a perfect blend of peddling and savoring He spaced out our rest stops in such a way that we were never bored with resting and nor fatigued with pedaling.

The day felt impossibly wide. We pedaled through parks, zipped by tree-lined streets flanked with…read morehistoric French buildings, and slid into an alleyway where people's childhood memories still lingered. I had a great time with Frederic, who told stories while we immersed ourselves in Montreal's history. The handmade bagels were the best--so good that I could have enjoyed them without cream cheese. The three hours flew by and the route was wonderfully flat. Their location is ideal, right next to a cafe where you can grab coffee and a snack before or afterwards.

We took the trail that runs along the canal and the flows along the outer perimeter of the city. It was super windy, but otherwise nice, and we had the wind in our face when we were fresh so it went very well. The bikes were great and clearly well maintained as there were no annoying sounds of derailleur rubbing or loose parts. Zero mechanical issues. We rode about 31 miles and turned the bikes back in with plenty of time remaining. They will charge you a $500 CA deposit but it gets immediately refunded upon return. Great business. Would recommend.

And they told me to use a phone to call someone, and that someone forwarded me to their colleague, who is apparently a voicemail machine. The only better part about the second group is that they told me bixi doesn't exist anymore. Those were the highest rated places around. Well there was one more place nearby, so figured to give it a shot. Finally came here, and guess what? They .. rent bikes. $15 for 4 hrs. Very reasonable. Great bike, it was a Norco. Rode all around Mount Royal and it was a breeze. Brought it back, no hassle. Don't bother with the other guys, who may or may not have bikes and don't even know where to refer you. These guys will take care of you. They have lots of bikes and the guys seem to know what they're doing. Highly recommended.

I held off on a negative review for nearly a year, giving the benefit of the doubt. I purchased a Schindelhauer bike from them and the online payment system calculated purchase and shipping (great price). This was a mistake with the payment system and I called the next day and we figured out shipping. The bike arrived damaged unfortunately. I took dozens of photos and tried to submit to ups directly. Unfortunately a damage claim has to be submitted by the shipper. This involved UPS and a shipping company they use called freightcom. Velo lifestyles blamed freightcom, so I reached out to freightcom.... They blamed velo... you see where this is going. Keep in mind this is nearly a year into this! I had an unusable bike until the manufacturer actually sent me a fender to mount. I originally had tried to bend the damage away from the tire to make the bike usable. I give credit to Schindelhauer for providing the part... it really wasn't their issue. Velo put it off so long I emailed Germany and got it myself! They now claim that they no longer ship to the United States due to shipping issues. I would avoid purchasing from this company due to a shady handling of the shipping claim. They seem nice on the phone and might be a good option if you pick up in person. I can speak to my experience with them. I would avoid any business that won't support their customers or stand behind a sale.

All I know, the cafe has a bike hanging on the wall. The place took me by surprise; it is a boutique of bikes and its accessories. Plus they repair the bikes too. When you enter deep into the boutique, on the left hand side, there is the coffeeshop. It's an interesting concept. While your bike is being repaired, have a cup of coffee! While you shop around for a bike, have a cup of coffee. The clerk/server was really sweet; she gave us tour of the shop and our lattes. It was bit bitter for my taste, but I was enjoying too much the place itself. We got to meet the owner, who showed his special bicycle that he used it to across Canada! Very impressive! Fans of coffee or bicyclists, do visit this place!

Millions of people pour through the Big O every summer without realizing that they are just a few blocks away from beautiful heritage buildings, and a quarter with an impassioned history and community. Hop on one of the Velopousse bikes and you're in for a fun ride, but also an education. The drivers are young people from the neighbourhood who are proud to tell you about the different community kitchens, coops, youth employment programs and other initiatives that have defined the character of this scrappy area, and served as a model for other community organizations internationally. From my experience they are also really flexible - they can run you over to the Biodome, drop you off at a bar and pick you up later, and go fast down hills to make the kids squeal. Very inexpensive - plus special rates for locals - and well worth it.
