Overview

This event is officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of cyclists on the planet. Usually in early June, 45,000 take to their bikes to pedal between 60 and 70 kilometers (37 and 43 miles) through the streets of Montreal, a city ordained by Bicycling Magazine as the friendliest for cycling in the world. The children's tour (Tour des Enfants), which occurs a week prior, features kids between the ages of six and 12. For information on regsitration, visit their website.
