According to The state of cycling in Quebec in 2020, In 2020, 660,000 adult Quebecers used mountain bike trails, 40,000 more than in 2015. With the development of trails of varying levels of difficulty, there's no doubt that this number will continue to rise, in both natural and urban environments. Mountain biking is a wonderful activity that brings physical activity and the environment into symbiosis, with positive health, social and economic repercussions. In a society where inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are on the rise among young people, the appeal of mountain biking to them is an invaluable asset.
Vélo Québec aims to defend and promote the interests of the recreational mountain biking by focusing on the development of :
- visit trail networks mountain biking (public, private, national parks)
- l’urban offer (bike parks, park and schoolyard facilities)
- a local and regional structure strong (clubs and organizations involved in developing and maintaining trails or organizing activities)
By bringing together the various stakeholders and putting the organization's expertise, resources and dynamism at their service, Vélo Québec is pursuing its mandate to encourage cycling while helping to develop an original and competitive tourism product.
