Visiting Montreal by bike

Having promised ourselves, after our last experience in Peru, never to undertake another excursion by bike, the possibility of exploring Montreal on two wheels, with a fantastic weather, was too tempting. And the truth is that, for once, we did not have to regret it. Montreal is a completely chameleonic city and it would seem impossible to imagine, in the middle of the harsh winter, with minus 30 degrees and a layer of snow covering everything, that the city could resurface full of light, life and colour. And as if it were a city that I was visited for the first time, we explored by bike different corners: the canal, old Montreal, the old port, the Saint Laurent, the parks… and in all of them I could recognize some vague resemblance with the cold and white (but also pretty) city that I had visited in winter. Amazing!
