I think it is great and I agree, they are fairly organized.
Thank you for reading!

It was never formally organized but helps develop a sense of community and solidarity among cyclists. And many useful tips are exchanged on a daily basis :-)

Thank you for the reply. I am glad you enjoyed the post. It is definitely a growing phenomenon in Montréal.

Thanks for the great information about Calgary. Some of my family lives in Calgary so I have had the opportunity to bike out there quite a bit. I found recreational cycling awesome, but getting around her suburb was a challenge (deep South East of Calgary).

I think attitudes towards active transportation are changing quickly though and hopefully winter cycling will be facilitated in Montréal in the coming years via better (read: quicker) snow removal and maintenance year-round of bicycle paths.

As a Calgarian living in Vancouver, BC, I think this model developed by ENJEU is really inspirational for other Canadian (and international) cities that have harsh winters. Bike Calgary (http://bikecalgary.org/winterriding) has recently begun a larger campaign to target winter riders, and I think they could continue to grow with the sense of community that has been developed in Montreal by ENJEU. In Calgary, we’re lucky to have one of the largest bike path systems in the country – the paths are well-maintained year round and I think it’s just a matter of getting a community engaged to emphasize the importance of biking in the winter and change the attitude. Thanks!

That’s resilience!
