Happy approaching 45th! I will raise a glass of tinto de verano on the 22nd in your honor. The lakefront bike path here is beautiful, marred only by pedestrians who refuse to stay on the pedestrian path.
Thankyou lexm I did notice the pedestrians being careless on the dedicated lakeshore cyclist paths but at their own peril!
Yes Montreal is a captivating place isn't it? I loved it there too. It was nice to see the Irish had a minor say in the founding of Quebec lol! I love the green stained windows of the Irish cathedral and the tranquil green hue it creates inside. I remember the great eateries too. The dedicated lanes are things we need to see more in US and UK cities. I get really mad when the London mayor Boris brags on about the new blue cycle lane highways they're painting in the roads. Dedicated my a**. Cars park in them, cabs stop in them and no proper physical separation despite all the cyclists in London now. That includes many Bromptons. I see the odd Strida on occasion which is nice. A quirky and effective bike.
