Quebec is promoting cycling in the province, in a serious way. On August 10th they’re opening the Route Verte, a series of cycling trails totalling 4,000km (!). They run from one end of the province to the other, and even take in the Iles de la Madeleine. Not all sections are complete, but when done, it will be the second-longest cycling trail in North America. Of course, the Trans-Canada trail, at 18,000km, will be even longer when it is done. But for one province, 4,000km of cycling trails ain’t bad.

Canada is quickly becoming a killer cycling destination.
