Montreal Bicycle Infrastructure Overview (As of May 2024)

​

Montreal is recognized for its commitment to fostering a bike-friendly environment, offering a comprehensive network of bike paths that cater to cyclists of all levels. Here's a detailed look into the city's biking infrastructure:

​

Total Bicycle Network

• Overall Length: 1,065 kilometers (approx. 661.69 miles), incorporating a mix of bike paths and lanes (Bienvenue sur Montréal.ca).

​

Year-Round Usability

• Year-Round Bike Paths: Out of the total network, 729 kilometers (approx. 452.78 miles) are accessible throughout the year

  • Of this 450 miles, at least 118 miles (190 Km) are protected bike lanes and are part of the EBN (Express Bike Network). 

  • There are likely more than 118 miles of protected lanes but this is not explicitly reported on the Montreal city website. 

​

Plans for Expansion

• The city has announced ambitious plans to expand its network, including the addition of at least 200 kilometers (approx. 124.27 miles) of new protected bike lanes by the end of 2027 (Global News). This expansion is part of Mayor Valerie Plante's vision to enhance Montreal's cycling network.
