While Quebec City doesn't have the bicycling infrastructure that Montreal enjoys such as dedicated bike lanes and bicycle sharing, the city does have many local bikers amid the many tourists. Quebec City is part of the Green Road (Route Verte) bicycleway that traverses the province. There is a nice stretch of bike lane along the St. Lawrence River called the Corridor du Littoral.
The tiny electric buses zipping around Old Quebec are the most visible sign of how green the city is. The zero emissions Ecolobus costs a dollar and Réseau de transport de la Capitale, Quebec City's public transit authority, operates eight electric buses in the Old City area.
It's great to see Quebec City running clean electric buses. Other cities are following Quebec's lead by integrating electric buses into their fleet.
Here are more pictures of Green Quebec:
