Vélorution

The power of bicycles to improve our lives and our cities !

Vélorution  is Cyclo Nord-Sud’s program to help Quebec communities meet the socio-environmental challenges of our time! 

Since March 2019, the Vélorution program has been working to develop cycling culture, and thus develop the power to act on the most marginalized citizens and communities. 

Cycling is a simple, accessible and fun way of combating inequalities, for greater economic, social and environmental justice. 

Why develop cycling at the local level ?

At Cyclo Nord-Sud, we believe in the power of the bicycle to change lives! The development of cycling offers economic (reduced cost), environmental (low pollution) and social (autonomy, well-being, social interactions) benefits. 

In many ways, local cycling has a positive impact. Take a look at this Harvard study which shows how cycling can help break the cycle of poverty.

Cyclo Nord-Sud provides a number of services to help boroughs integrate the Vélorution program !

Would you like to join the movement and make Vélorution a part of your community, city or town ?

We will get back to you to discuss the possibilities and build an offer tailored to your needs.

Petites Roues

Petites Roues offers a bicycle to children in Montreal’s neighborhoods, providing a real mobility alternative for many families.

Today, thanks to the support of neighborhood and community organizations, and the Côte-des-Neiges and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce boroughs, young people who haven’t yet had this opportunity will receive a bike, professionally upgraded, and a new helmet.

Petites Roues is also an opportunity to encourage the next generation of cyclists, who can help build a better urban life!

Receiving your first bike is a very special event in your life !

We have received many compliments from our beneficiaries, and here are a few of their testimonials:

” Great help and good job. ”

” Many thanks. The technicians are wonderful. ”

” Very good service. Much appreciated ”

 

Toutes à vélo

Toutes à Vélos is a bicycle training program by and for women. Created by Vélo Québec, Cyclo Nord-Sud is associated with this project, which has the objective of making cycling accessible to women, especially those who have not yet had the opportunity to learn to ride. Toutes à Vélo means discovering cycling both as a leisure activity and as a mode of transport.

Thanks to its expertise in bike refurbishment and project management, Cyclo Nord-Sud supports Vélo Québec by providing bikes, the necessary safety equipment and storage in the Côte-Des-Neiges and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce boroughs.

“ History shows us that the bicycle has been an important tool of liberation for women. Around the world, we see that it could be the key to greater prosperity. “
