Organizers expect this weekend's bike festival to 'affect normal road conditions' in Montreal
Thousands of cyclists are taking part in a city-wide bike festival this weekend as the annual “Tour la Nuit” and the “Tour de l’Ile” returns from May 31 to June 2.
Streets across the city will be closed down to accommodate the cyclists and motorists should expect a number of detours and delays as part of the Go Bike Montreal festival.
Vélo Quebec is recommending that drivers use the Waze app to get around this weekend, which will be updated in real-time about street closures.
