A family crosses Quebec... by bike

For Véronique and Benoît, cycling isn't just a means of transport, it's a way of life. With their two children, Alice, 6, and Martin, 10, they form a family of four cycling enthusiasts. Always car-free, they get around exclusively by bike, summer and winter alike. The children, who have been pedaling since the age of 4, have never slowed down since.

They arrived in Quebec six years ago and are now permanent residents. They decided to make a dream come true: to discover the province from one end to the other, on two wheels, guided by their passion for adventure and freedom.

At a conference, the family will share their experience and tell how bicycle travel can be accessible, affordable and rewarding. Preparation, learning on the road, travel anecdotes and unforgettable encounters - thanks in particular to the Warm Showers network - will all be part of the story. Their aim is clear: to show that family cycling is not only possible, but also a wonderful source of discovery and pleasure.

Procedure and registration

Presentation at 7 p.m. followed by a question period.

Once you have registered, you will receive an e-mail with instructions and a link to the videoconference.

La Maison des cyclistes: a unique cycling hub

The Maison des cyclistes is located a stone's throw from Parc La Fontaine, where two of Montreal's most important bicycle paths intersect. In addition to Vélo Québec's offices, it features a bicycle travel agency, a boutique and a café, where Vélo Mag conferences are held.

The Maison des cyclistes is a space for services, exchanges, information and troubleshooting for cyclists, and is a project financed under the Agreement on the cultural development of Montreal between the Ville de Montréal and the Government of Quebec.
