Here are the top winter cycling tips from snowy Montreal
Winter cycling tips often depend on location, so when Momentum wanted to get serious about it, we went to one of North America's most bicycle-friendly and seriously cold cities — Montreal, Quebec.

A great (but rare) example of a construction detour directly alongside the worksite, making it logical for all ages to follow. 🚧
The MUP was torn up and with heavy dump truck traffic in the area, the pylons and construction tape help define a safer area for 🧑🦽🚶♀️🚲.

Love this project on Onigam St preserving the remains of this old stone structure, boat launch, green space, patio and a great view of the river and Centretown!
And it's a City project? 😲😍

In case you missed it today, great coverage about the recent bikelash in Canada from conservative politicians and what cities like Paris are doing right to reduce car congestion and improve mobility.

The fine for parking on the sidewalk is $55 and in a bike lane $120.
The fine for parking in an accessible parking space with no permit is $500.
As they all impact #accessibility, why are they not all $500 fines? 🧐

Speed cameras are an amazing tool for cities to curb illegal and dangerous speeding.

He should implement legislation to ensure cities direct the funds to redesign those streets where speeding is a problem to make them safer for🧑🦽🚶♀️🚲🚗
