I LOVED pretty much everything about Montreal cycling \u2013 but the thing I loved the most<\/strong> was the Bixi Bike Share system. Bixi is short for \u201cbike taxi,\u201d and that\u2019s pretty much what they are. During the whole time we were in Montreal, we never once had to take a cab. Bixi was the way to go. Bixi bikes are sturdy and weather resistant. Some come with 3 gears, some with 6. Now when we plan vacations, we look for cities that have bike share systems and safe cycling lanes.<\/p>\n
