ELECTRIC-ASSIST ROAD BIKES

Three options, three personalities
Last autumn, Vélo Mag tested three electrically-assisted road bikes with very different motorization designs. Here are the results of this new but rewarding experience.


REPORTAGE: FROM SOLO TO DUO

When the loner travels as a couple
I've covered almost 40,000 km in 40 countries. One day, my sweetheart, who has taken up cycle touring, joined me in Brazil to share my adventures. A look at an experience where nothing is planned


DESTINATION QUÉBEC

Treasure hunt on two wheels
Quebec is full of little gems, paved and unpaved, that all too often fly under cyclists' radar. Vélo Mag has picked out five to visit this season.

Lanaudière: A matter of good taste
The Lanaudière region is no slouch when it comes to good taste.
After all, it feeds its urban Montreal neighbor with many distinctive delicacies and offers a certain tranquility. Since it's best to eat on the spot, the bike is the ideal tool, whether on pavement or trail.


URBAN BIKES AND ACCESSORIES

The right choices
One xe-gear enthusiast, another electric-assist, one all-season and one long-distance rider: four experienced cyclists suggest bikes and accessories for city riding.


ERGONOMICS

Hands and feet
When it comes to cycling comfort, it's not just the saddle that counts. The other two contact points, hands and feet, are often neglected or ignored. I won't dwell here on their positioning, but rather on handlebar ergonomics and shoe soles.
