Ca Roule Montréal is a brilliant way to get under the skin of the city, combining fresh air, neighbourhood buzz and plenty of local insight as you explore by bike. It’s ideal if you want to cover more ground than you could on foot, while still travelling at a pace that lets you take in the street life, architecture and little details that make Montréal feel so distinctive.

Their classic guided bike tour links many of the city’s highlights and best-loved areas, weaving through places like the Old Port and Old Montréal, the Latin Quarter, the Plateau and La Fontaine Park, with a look towards Mont-Royal and a ride through the downtown and business district. Along the way, your guide brings the city to life with stories about Montréal’s history and culture, plus a few lesser-known corners you might never find on your own. A favourite moment for many is the stop at St-Viateur Bagel, where you can sample Montréal’s famous bagels straight from a legendary bakery.

For families, the Young Family Bike Tour offers a gentler route with a strong focus on safe cycling paths, following the St Lawrence River and the Lachine Canal and including sights like Habitat 67, Jean-Drapeau Park and the Biosphere. It’s a fun, active way to explore with children, without feeling rushed or overly ambitious.

If you’d rather do your own thing, Ca Roule also offers full-day bike rentals, including everything you need to head out with confidence, from helmets and locks to route ideas and a bike path map. E-bikes are available for adults and older teens, which can be a great shout if you’d like an easier ride while still seeing plenty.
