Cycling day trip from Longueuil to Montreal

Get ready for a fun ride starting in Longueuil and ending in the heart of Montreal! This pleasant 22.8 km route is mostly along paved cycleways—so you’ll have smooth pedaling with minimal interactions with car traffic. You'll cross the Saint Lawrence River (most likely over the iconic Jacques Cartier Bridge, a favorite for cyclists) and enjoy some great city views along the way.

Longueuil is known for its quiet neighborhoods, lovely parks, and relaxed vibe—perfect for easing into your ride. As you pedal westward, you’ll have a steady ascent (about 296 m of climbing overall), but the route’s mostly gentle and gives you plenty of chances to catch your breath.

Once you hit Montreal, you’ll arrive in a city bursting with life, festivals, great food, and culture at every corner. Expect a mix of urban cycle paths, quiet streets, and even a few stretches through pedestrian areas. Most surfaces are asphalt or concrete, so it’s friendly for pretty much any bike. Don’t forget to take a selfie on the bridge—those city and river views are fantastic!
