Quebec gives its full support to cycling!
Le Quebec, completement velo!
Despite the fact that Quebec province residents must contend with harsh winter conditions that heavily limit bicyclists' activity, a cycling culture has been ingrained throughout the province that surpasses any other in North America. Between 2000 and 2010 the number of cyclists using bicycles for transportation, as well as recreation, has doubled. The Green Route, a nature discovery path running through nearly 5,000 km of Quebec landscape, has emerged from this trend, as presented in this article, along with a look at how it came about, through formulation of cycling policy.
