We love the Bixi $5/day bikes! The map doesn't show it, but there are several stations very close by. Montreal is littered with them. You pay by credit card and there will be a hold of $100 on it in case you steal the bike. (One credit card can be used for four bikes.) Important: the rate is only $5/day but you need to dock the bike at a station every 30 minutes or else there’s a big surcharge. Talk to Mark about loading the app to check which stations have bikes or empty docks.
