I just took a leisurely Bixi ride during my lunch break, and came across a construction worker directing cars onto a segregated cycle lane to avoid a road blockage. Just enough space between the poles for SUVs to squeeze in between.
Sounds fair cyclists should get to take over the city for one weekend a year.

I’m getting a dishwasher, washer, and dryer delivered on the 4th and a large furniture delivery on the 3rd. Neither offered a “delivery by bicycle” option, surprisingly. That said I doubt the deliveries will be impacted by the routes. I only mention this so that everyone all full of glee that cars and SUVS will be inconvenienced remembers to get all their deliveries rescheduled if necessary. Coming up to moving season there are a lot of people with big trucks every weekend, I hope nobody scheduled their move for this one.
I noticed that all the bike paths in Fletcher’s Field are getting resurfaced today. I hope they are sufficiently cured fro this weekend’s festivities, it seems poorly timed. Still it’s nice to see the bike paths get resurfaced in the park, it’s been ages.

Road closures at night? Sounds like a real traffic nightmare! I’ll see myself out..

The construction along Parc Jeanne-Mance is probably why one of the starting points will be at Parc LaFontaine this year.

The last time I did Tour de l’Île we started on the street beside Lafontaine.
