July 30 - Day off in Montreal

Margaret wanted us to find Fairmount Bagels. The original store was opened in 1919 by Isadore Shlafman. All the bagels are hand-rolled and baked in a wood fire oven. There is no photo of the bagels because we gobbled them up before I remembered to take the picture. As an alternative, you can see the colorful benches where we ate our breakfast.

Even though this is a day off the bike, we decided to cycle to Habitat 67 and to the Geodome.
I had been in Montreal for Expo 67 and had seen this innovative housing development at that time.
Since we were still on our bikes, we cycled to Cafe Biciletta at the Maison du Bicycles.
In 1967 this organization created the route verde system of bike routes throughout Canada.
