Canal’s path users

Remember that you are sharing the path with hundreds of cyclists, in-line skaters, walkers and runners. By adopting responsible behaviour, you minimize the risk of an accident.

Before you leave

• Inspect your bicycle regularly, check the condition of the brakes and tires, and ensure that it is equipped with the mandatory visibility equipment. A bicycle in good condition will allow you to travel efficiently and safely. 
• If you ride in the dark, think about equipping your bicycle with headlights: they will light up the path and help other users see you clearly.
• Wear a helmet and any other safety equipment appropriate for your activity.
• Power-assisted bicycles or electric bicycles equipped with a running board, an open frame or a flat floor, commonly referred to as electric scooter, are prohibited on the path.

On the path
