My stars

In this edition, we don't have one star, but many. We'd like to introduce you to some families who've taken to the road for a family bike tour. It's really not that complicated.


Podium

Laurie Arseneault: I'm flying high
That's exactly what the young mountain biker can say about her entry into the big leagues with the Canyon Mtb team.


Techno

Urban electric bike
It's not easy to make the right choice from among the many urban electric-assist bike options. Here are the right questions to ask yourself before plugging in. We've also included some suggestions for bikes and accessories that caught our eye. 


Destinations

Montréal gourmand: five neighborhoods to (re)discover by bike
One of my great summer pleasures? Cycling around Montreal, interspersed with gourmet stops. Cafés, neighborhood eateries, markets, comptoirs, institutions and well-kept secrets fill my notebooks, which I'm happy to share with fellow foodie cyclists. If you can't eat there, the «takeaway» option will slip into your panniers.

Guest Côte-Nord, a region that pampers cyclists
The two Vélo Mag journalists who produced this lengthy report did so for different reasons: Maxime wanted to form an informed opinion on Côte-Nord, while Sarah-Émilie answered the vibrant call of this vast region. They returned unanimously, both delighted by their journey to the edge of the 50th parallel.

My bike trip
My name is Sierra Jolicoeur. I'm 13 years old and I'm passionate about mountain biking. My father passed on his passion to me and the whole family.

The beaten track of the Larose forest
Between Montreal and Ottawa are a number of new mountain bike trails, perfect for starting - and continuing! - to this wonderful sport. Especially when good drainage encourages early use of the trails.
