Montreal's Mount Royal

Montrealers call it “the mountain.” Really it’s a big hill, and no trip to Montreal would be complete without making it up the city’s famous icon through one of its loveliest parks. Our favorite way of getting up there is of course by bike, along the wide gravel path through the park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (the same Olmsted who designed New York City’s Central Park).

Cape Cod Weekend Getaway by Bike, Ferry and Train

WEEKEND GETAWAY, 50-85 MILES

We begin with a high-speed ferry from Boston to the lovely, remote tip of the Cape, Provincetown. Surface streets carry you southward towards the vast National Seashore and Wellfleet, home to arguably the best oysters in the world, and to the starting point for the Cape's wonderful rail trail. We've found plenty of food and drink stops dotting your route south to Dennis, where the rail trail ends and more surface streets pick up your route west to Hyannis and the Cape Town Flyer, a bike-friendly train that will take you back to Boston.

However, the city lights up over the holiday season and hosts numerous activities and events to get you into the spirit of the season. For our family, it has become a tradition to bundle up and set out to any number of activities throughout Vancouver on bicycles.
