PEOPLE OF THE RIVER

This cycle tour takes you through Quebec’s maritime history, which is closely linked to the heritage of English-speakers. You will cycle along new bicycle trails taking you from the modest homes of Irish longshoremen to the mansions of Scottish shipbuilders on Sillery heights via a Scandinavian church and the old yacht club. This visit provides you with a chance to learn about immigrants, ship labourers, rioters, crimps, and Charley Men.

According to the Quebec Highway Safety Code, it is strictly prohibited to wear headphones while riding your bike. Therefore, while travelling between two stations on our tour, you must remove your headphones. In order to ensure your security, you must become aware of the clauses below and respect them:

“The buyer of this audio cycle tour is aware that it is against the law to wear headphones while in a motorized vehicle or on a bicycle. Therefore, VoxTours cannot be held liable if the user fails to meet this legal obligation .”

“The buyer agrees to respect the Quebec Highway Safety Code, particularly article 440 which states that it is forbidden to ride a bicycle with headphones.”
