Ça Roule/Montreal on Wheels Description
In the heart of Old Montreal, you'll come upon a small shop with dozens of bicycles outside and busy mechanics helping eager customers. You've found Ça Roule (or Montreal on Wheels, as it's known in English), a bike shop that rents everything from tandems to electric scooters and that also offers guided tours of Montreal for four or more riders. Rent bicycles here and enjoy the miles and miles of quay-side bike paths. If you're up for a challenge, head to Plage des Iles on Ile Notre Dame and cool off from the riding with a dip in the river.
Kid Tips
Babies: Official policy is that there are no rentals available for children under two, as the shop only has the trail-a-bike attachment and no closed trailers.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Young adults will like the electric scooters but will be disappointed to learn they can't be ridden on the quay. The friendly folk at Ça Roule will provide a map to the park where scooters are allowed (the battery charge lasts an hour).
Planning Notes
- Helmets are free. The staff recommends that you wear them.
- Bring ID. Riders leave a picture ID as collateral and pay upon return.
- Ask for a lock. Riders are responsible if the bike is stolen (and some 15,000 bicycles go missing in Montreal each year). Ask the staff for advice on how to best secure the bikes.
- Pick up a surrey down the street. Popular with families in the summertime, and particularly fun for teenagers, these bike-vehicles can be rented at a store on the quay down the street from Ça Roule.
