There weren’t many cyclists on the bike paths when Iggy and I hit the road before 7:30 this morning.

We had an easy ride over to the Old Port district. There are several downhills on Rue Berri. After that we were along the Lachine Canal for much of our ride. Had to turn around and start back at Ile Notre-Dame. It was closed, I believe, because of this week’s fireworks.

On the way home, we passed many more commuter-cyclists. Less than half of them wearing helmets. Probably a greater percentage toted backpacks.

I saw one woman in a proper blue skirtsuit and sandals, but no stockings. Doesn’t she sweat or brush against grease on her bike?

Rue Berri was less relaxing in this direction. That last uphill requires perseverance.
