    Cheap, fun, and healthy way to explore Montreal! Other than using our own two legs, the Bixi bikes were our 2nd most popular mode of transportation during our trip. The bikes were a bit clunky so riding up hills were more of a strug than if we had road bikes. The gears were also pretty wonky. Honestly the only gear that was remotely useful was the last one (7 or 3 depending on which type of bike you had). Nonetheless, to get from point A to point B, the bikes got the job done. Some tips: +Get the 24 hour pass. It was 5 CAD-- so cheap! +Set up your desired bike (seat height etc) before you take it from the dock. You have to dock the bike every 30 minutes so you don't want to waste your time fumbling around. With that being said, 30 minutes is more than enough to get you where you need to be +Even if you get the 24 hour pass you have to swipe your credit card again and get a new code (you never use your code more than once) +There are Bixi stations literally everywhere, but the online map (https://secure.bixi.com/map/) helped us locate the closest one to our destination, and showed us whether the docks were full or empty We missed the Free Bixi Sunday by one day, but I'm glad they give back to the community by having free days and encouraging an active lifestyle!

    Bixi. I rave about it all the time still even though I no longer live in Montreal. Wow, I can't believe there's 460 stations (5,200 bikes) now! Amazing. Price is still unbelievably cheap ($5.00 for 24 hours, $14.00 for 72 hours, $30.00 for a month, $55.00 for half season and $87.00 for an annual membership). They even have the option now of doing a one way for $2.95, although I have no idea why you would do that. The season goes from April to November so six months for $87.00 is a steal. Guess which one I bought for my 5 days in Montreal? Yup, month membership for the win! Bonus that I can still use my old school BIXI key (that's lost half of it's paint job by now). Totally worth the $30.00 because I took 25 trips and rode almost 80km (I checked my Bixi stats 'cause I'm a nerd like that). Not too shabby. It's the best way to explore Montreal. I can't recommend it enough whether you're a tourist or local. There's nothing better than taking a BIXI out to cruise at night with the wind gushing in your face.

    Why walk when you can ride? I picked up a Bixi Bike and was pleased with the performance. It feels almost exactly like the same Boris Bike that I rented often in London. Solid ride, three gears, good brakes and wide tires to eat up the bumps of a city road. The rental system is the same as London, where you swipe your credit card in the machine (it accepts 'swipe and sign' cards and probably 'chip and pin' cards too) and you pay a basic daily rate and then more depending on how long you keep each cycle. The first half hour is free. Machines are scattered throughout the city so you are never too far from a place where you can pick one up or drop one off. Tip: Montreal is a big city. Get a helmet and save your noggin, mkay?

    Thanks to the people of Bixi, we have a useful, realistic alternative in our attempts at commuting in the city. On my last visit to Montreal, I spent two days using Bixi and it cost me $4.64 a day on my credit card. Which I simply swipe to get a Bixi. Then I move amongst the 400 stations in Montreal which house 5,000 bikes. Why is Bixi the Bomb? 1. Very inexpensive 2. No maintenance required 3. The bikes have undesirable parts (avoids theft) 4. The bikes are designed to last, are safe, and plentiful 5. Sure, your bike is better, but numbers 1-3 do not apply. Coming to a city near you!

    Joe found a new use for the docking stations.

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.

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.

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.

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.
