It is a good place to do biking activities and has wonderful bikes to ride on. The Bixi bicycle is a good one to ride in old Montreal.

Advertisers and sponsors are always going to push their luck, but the City of London seems to have just rolled over and taken it. I think the greed has backfired on Barclays. London cynicism is unavoidable, but surely it could have minimised with a name we could have been proud of. Greedy banks, eh? Who would have thought it? Cheers Steve.

Bank Tanks is not a bad nickname, it's just a shame that such a positive development will always be tainted with resentment and cynicism (in true British style) because of a poorly conceived name.
