Bike paths and bike racks

The Rapibus bike path

A 14.8 km multi-purpose bike path runs along the Rapibus corridor between the Labrosse and Galeries de Hull stations. 

The pont Noir crossing provides direct access between the Gatineau and Hull sector.

This bike path:

  • is safe and keeps cyclists away from automobile traffic;
  • provides a link with the bike path owned by Ville de Gatineau and the National Capital Commission (NCC); and
  • connects the main employment, educational, recreational and commercial hubs.

Characteristics

  • 14.8 km of bike paths along the Rapibus corridor;
  • three lit and safe tunnels;
  • bike racks at 9 Rapibus stations (lien page Infos pratiques/ /Réseau/Rapibus) and 6 park-and-rides (lien page Services complémentaires/ Parc-o-Bus) that can accommodate close to 240 bikes, many of them sheltered; and
  • several bike trails linking the Rapibus bike path to the one owned by Ville de Gatineau and the NCC.
