Should Montreal double its number of bike paths? One study says ‘yes’ A study from McGill University in Montreal found that doubling the amount of bike lanes on the road would have a minimal effect on vehicle traffic, but a significant effect on cyclists.

The cars are going to be alright‼️🚲🚗

A new #McGill research study shows that #Montreal could double bike paths in the city and still keep 90%+ of road space for cars.
