Actually, he said that Minneapolis was ranked higher than Montreal in the last classification and that Montreal didn't achieve much in the last few years. I have been to Minneapolis and I agree that they have a better bike infrastructure than here. However, I think that there are more cyclists here ant that our bike sharing system BIXI is more convenient because the city is more dense and that the stations are closer. I believe that the bike sharing system was the biggest improvement related to bike in Montreal in the recent years. The number of cyclists increased significantly due to it. I started to bike because of it and now I have made 2255 BIXI rides. But it is a long story and there are a lot of factors that made Montreal very bikeable and walkable.
