When cycling rhymes with diversity
The camera of Le Devoir's documentary shows him lacing up his cycling shoes, getting on his bike and giving his first pedal stroke. From his apartment in Montreal's Villeray district, Henri Do has just set off on an 800 km journey towards Gaspésie. He'll complete it in just over 30 hours - in a flash. He has also made an important gesture: proving to people like him that they too have a place in the cycling world.

Early-season tune-up
You've probably spent a lot of time sitting in front of a screen this winter, whether in your work chair, on your couch or even on your exercise bike. Your body mechanics may have suffered as a result. We strongly recommend a tune-up.

«The first thing you should do is check the condition of the bike sleeping in your garage.
