Going the Extra Mile

While most bike shops let you scoot around the block for a test ride, and cycle tours show you the neighbourhood on a bike you can’t keep, the latest thing is combining the two worlds: a cycle tour that sells you your lovely bike and takes you around the city in it. Montreal’s Fitz & Follwell Co. cycle tours have been carefully crafted to allow you to experience the city as the locals do, from the comfort of one of their stylish bikes. The ‘Hoods & Hidden Gems’ tour will immerse you in the local hangouts of the city’s hippest habitants. Together you’ll zig and zag through narrow streets, ‘green laneways’, cafe-lined boulevards and spacious parks to make sure you don’t miss a beat. Easing the transition from four wheels (or two feet) to two wheels, the tour acts as a guide not only to the city but to the new cyclist lifestyle that comes with the purchase of a new bike from them.
