    Which did you disagree with? I live in a far less hospitable biking city, but still thought he was right about:

    • Urban highways through Montreal aren’t great.
    • Bike lanes that suddenly end discourage all but confident users.
    • Land use around many of the Montreal Metro stations was poor.
    • The hodgepodge of municipalities is a double-edged sword, some good and some bad.
    • Montreal is like many North American cities and often chooses to put bike lanes and infrastructure on smaller streets because it’s cheaper and draws less opposition than putting them on main thoroughfares.
    • The pedestrianized streets are awesome and pretty well done, and should probably be made permanent.
