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.

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.

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.

Super experience with renting e-bikes. We like to rent e-bikes when we're visiting a new place…read morebecause it helps us see a lot of the city. We wandered into Bicycletterie JR without any reservations or anything, and within 15 minutes we were on the road. They gave us instructions for the bikes and hooked us up with locks and helmets and we were off! They were super flexible about when we returned the bikes so we didn't have to get locked into a particular time to return. The bikes were in great shape and we had a lovely afternoon. HINT: If you ride down Rue La Genesse to the Prairies River and turn north you're in a protected bike lane the whole way and then you get to bike paths and lanes that go through nature reserves, parks, and cute little neighborhoods. We did 25 miles (40km) without ever being off a bike lane or path.

I downloaded the Application on the spot and entered my credit card. Then I looked over the many bikes available and picked one out and used the App to unlock it. I rented a BIXI down at the waterfront and road it for 2.5 hours from there over a couple of bridges to the islands that have the Biosphere, the Casino, and the Formula One Racetrack. I road the BIXI around the circumference of the formula one racetrack--slowest bike on the track but it was a ton of fun. Then over to the entrance to the Casino and over and around the Biosphere and back to downtown Montreal. The total cost was only about $10 US. It was one of the most memorable parts of my trip.

Last year I had a very bad bike-luck and fixed about 4-5 flat tires, so I can say I am a bad-luck flat-tire expert by now. The service I got was the best one I ever got, the guy looked at my bike, told me what he think is the problem and exactly how it will cost. I felt like I was bringing a car and getting a price evaluation. Also unlike other places that first told me "leave the bike and come back later" this time they said right away, sit down and we will fix it right away (maybe since its just the beginning of the bike season and they have time). Anyway great fast service, a little pricey usually its around 14-15$ since the tube lone is 6$ they charged me almost 18$ after adding tax) but overall great expirience...altough next time I really should fix it myself :)

Got the Indie coffee passport and Allo Vélo was one of the participating coffee shops…read more It is essentially a bike shop that serves coffee. Surprisingly, the coffee is amazing. Compared to a lot of new coffee shops brewing new wave coffee beans that tend to me more fruity and acidic, this one brews old school italian coffee. This gives a much richer and round coffee with chocolate and nut flavor which I love. No art foam on their coffee but who cares, just simple good coffee at its best. Super cool bike shop for cycling fanatics! Beware, they are closed on Monday!

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.
