text: We just took a cycling vacation to Montreal. What a wonderful city. So much to do, so much to see, so much to sample. And, so bike friendly.\n\nWe planned to ride both the Tour la Nuit (a night ride) and the Tour de I'lle (the largest single cycling event in the world- about 30,000 cyclists) and we needed bikes.\n\nSo, we rented a tandem from Ca Roule (another bike rental place) for the la Nuit tour and rented hybrid bikes from My Bicyclette for the I'lle ride.  Our rental choices were planned more for our off-the-bike site seeing itinerary than anything else.\n\nDealing with Ca Roule was disappointing (badly maintained bikes & bill inflation) but renting from My Bicyclette was an excellent experience.\n\nDave (the owner) is an obvious biker and was very flexible with our changing needs. (We first reserved bikes for a one day rental, than changed the rental to 24 hours. Since we only needed the bikes for the Tour, Dave accommodated us by allowing us to pick up at closing and return the next day for a one day rental charge.)  He made our bike rental easy. \n\nThe bikes were Rocky Mountain hybrids, male and female, fairly light, well maintained and... they shifted smoothly. An important but much overlooked feature when renting bikes. We were fitted according to height. \n\nThe only downside is getting there. But it's actually easy, take the Metro to Lionel-Groulx station, walk a few blocks past Atwater Market, across the blue foot bridge and turn right. Then check out beautiful, friendly Montreal on a GOOD bike.
