| - As a tried and true Montrealer, I can say without a doubt that this is the real deal. I didn't come to this conclusion quickly, either. Living nearby to the boutique, I passed by often and started going in to browse. Since then I've bought a helmet and my boyfriend has bought lots of other odds and ends for his bike. We're always greeted with a smile, and if they don't have whatever it is we're looking for, they either order it or point us in the right direction.
I always wondered about the tours, and the perfect opportunity arose last year when we had an out of town guest visiting. We went on the (lower) Main walking tour and were really impressed. Although I am quite familiar with the Main, having family who worked on it when I was a kid and having an interest in all things food and architecture related, I still learned a few tidbits of information. And learned about a few places I didn't yet know about.
This summer we had guests again, and this time we took the hoods and hidden gems bike tour. And it was great! It visited many of the locations I visit regularly and/or would take guests to. I learned a few things. And best of all I got to ride a wonderful bike in a big group. Cycling pretty much everyday, I'm comfortable sharing the road, but it was such a nice experience having peopling watch out at intersections, and have cars give us space. It was also nice to have our guests bike within the relative safety of a group, rather than be stressed out in a one on one situation. I can honestly say that this was a great tour!
