Lamar Timmins has long been a biker, but it was a stint as a bicycle tour guide in Germany that furthered his appreciation for the world of biking.
“That [Germany] is where I really started to understand biking as a way of life and a means of transportation,” Lamar says.
Upon his return to Montreal, his European adventure inspired him to launch a business that merged two different cultures. “It’s sort of a European inspiration and also in Australia, it’s quite common to find a cafe with something else like a bookstore or a vintage store. Montreal has such a great coffee culture and a great bike culture so it just made sense to put the two together,” Lamar says.
In January of 2013, he teamed up with his mother, Fiona Chai, and opened Allo Vélo, a bike boutique and cafe located in St-Henri.

On vous accueille dans une belle boutique avec des gens qui aime vous recevoir et vous servir. On peu même prendre un bon petit café et l'accueil est chaleureux! Belle découverte du quartier et tout près de la piste cyclable.
The technicians were very knowledgable, and friendly. Quick service and there is also a restaurant/cafe in case you get hungry while waiting. Very cool vibe, will definitely go back for repairs.
Allo Vélo provides stylish and practical European-style city bikes for the leisurely rider and commuter. They carry brands such as Gazelle, Creme Cycles and Vanmoof, as well as some top-rated cargo bikes. Their Notre-Dame location also doubles as an Italian café, so enjoy a delicious roast while you wait for your bike to be serviced.
