Edit: a bunch of my post got truncated...
Mont Royal looms over downtown at an elevation of 764 feet, and is the site of multiple universities, including a campus of Universite de Montréal
Maybe i'm misinterpreting this, but it sounds a bit misleading. The university is on the slopes of the hill, nowhere near the top
In general, this article is a bit premature. The winter cycling pilot was limited to downtown and a few other boroughs and not the whole regular network... And we also benefited from a very mild winter. Not sure if we can declare a "year round cycling success story", just yet
That being said, this is good news and i hope to be able to use the bixi in the winter next year (i live in one of the boroughs that didnt have winter coverage)
