Vélo!Vélo! in a nutshell

We had around 70 participants representing over 20 organizations, including Right to Move/La voie libre, Santrovélo (Santropol Roulant), Bike2Farm and Vélo Québec. From outside Montreal, we had Louérou from Rimouski and three coops from Toronto: Bike Pirates, Bike Sauce and Bike Chain. Last but not least, we had representatives from Vélocentrix in Québec City. On the last day, Vélocentrix offered to host Vélo! Vélo! 2011, which was met with loud applause.
