I just found some of these figures from the Velo Quebec (http://www.velo.qc.ca) Web site:
Québec’s cycling industry is responsible for 85 % of Canadian production.
There are 700 retailers in Québec, about three times as much per capita than in the U.S.
On average, Quebecers spend about $26 per person on bicycles and bike accessories annually, compared to $21 eslewhere in Canada and only $14.50 in the U.S.
My neighbours, recently arrived from Toronto are continually amazed at how many cyclists they see in Montreal. I guess it's true.
