From the south: take the bike path along Berri Street, continue along Cherrier Street East and then cross through La Fontaine Park to Rachel.
From the east: take the bike path along Rachel Street to Brébeuf. However, if you opt for the bike path along Notre-Dame Street, which continues along René-Lévesque, turn north on Champlain Street, which becomes Émile-Duployé Avenue. Then head west on Rachel Street and continue to Brébeuf.

In order to ensure compliance with the limit of 16 bicycles per train, no transfers will be permitted at the Snowdon, Jean-Talon, Lionel-Groulx and Berri-UQÀM stations, either on the way to the event or on the way home.
