Fantastic way to see Montreal! Coming from Toronto I could not believe the ease with which I could find a bike and make multiple stops throughout downtown Montreal. The bike is meant as more of a touring, not a racing bike. I am a regular cyclist in Toronto and had no trouble adjusting to the 3 gears and heavier bike, in fact it felt quite safe. My friend easily got the hang of it and the cordoned off bike lanes helped her feel more secure. The system was effective and inexpensive. Bike stands were readily available and it was a treat to be able to park a bike and no longer have the responsibility for it. Montreal is a lovely city and the Bixi allowed us to really see all the parts and visit far more attractions than our limited time would have allowed us. I am a shrimp and could easily ride on the lowest seat size, I can't even describe my thrill when I noticed the front carrying area was exactly the same size as a shoe box! How convenient considering the shops in Montreal... In addition I did hook up my GPS on the cycling setting and had a great time exploring. It is important for people to see the system as a short ride bike taxi - not a day rental of a bike. it would only be appropriate for kids of 4' 10" and taller and you may want to bring a helmet along.
