Thanks for the link.
I was just in Old Montreal and the university district for a week in Nov and checked out a lot of bikes in the city.
A pretty good scene going on there

I’m heading out in January, COVID willing, for my son’s birthday, and looking forward to check out the cycling scene there, so I appreciate the link, too! I have a Montreal-made T-Lab bike, and I’m hoping I can visit them while I’m there. It’ll be my first time in the city, and I’m eager for the trip!

Any talk of bicycling history and Montreal must include 60 cycles!

IKR. My only visit was during February. I don’t recall seeing one person on a bike. It was frigid with some snow two days.
