CAR-FREE CYCLING IN BANFF NATIONAL PARK
Banff offers a wide range of bike rides that provide stunning views and unforgettable experiences. We are also lucky enough to have two great car-free routes accessible from our shop in the heart of Banff; The Legacy Trail and The Bow Valley Parkway.
The Legacy Trail is a great way to visit our sister town, Canmore. The dedicated bike path links the downtown areas of Banff and Canmore, tracing the Bow River and eastern cliffs of Mt. Rundle.
Parks Canada has announced the Bow Valley Parkway (Highway 1A) will be closed to all vehicle traffic from May 1st to Mid-June, and again from August 28th . This gives cyclists the once in a life-time oppurtunity to experience 25km (each-way) of Banff’s most scenic road ride without ANY vehicles. At the end of the closed-to-cars section, is Johnston Canyon, a iconic Banff landmark where you can hike up to spectacular waterfalls. The Bow Valley Parkway also has picnic areas and viewpoints at various points between Banff and Johnston Canyon. Book Now and don’t miss out on the chance to see Banff National Park like never before! Feel like having an expert local guide ride with you? Check out our guided tour option here.

what our Guests are saying
“Highlight of our trip to Banff and Jasper” May. 2025
Took e-bikes up to Lake Moraine in late May before it was open to cars! What a magical trip for our family. Banff Cycle & Sport was super easy to work with and accommodated our children. Used a Thule trailer to bring out 2 and 4 yo. Highlight of our trip to Banff and Jasper!

“Best Bike Tour Ever!” April 2025
I can't even imagine how I'll be able to adequately express what a wonderful experience we had. It's very early in the season, so early that we had to make special arrangements. Tom brought the bikes to us at the hotel and from there led us on an amazing tour of Banff.
He was as knowledgeable and engaging as any guide we've ever had. Told stories, made jokes and definitely knew how to read his audience. This was my first time on an E-bike and it made this non-athlete very comfortable on the ride. I'd recommend making a reservation for a tour with them as soon as you book your trip to Banff!
-Kathy B. from Richmond, VA
“Best Place in Banff to rent bikes” May. 2025
Best place in Banff to rent bikes. The staff are super friendly and supportive. They went above and beyond to make sure I had the best day. The Trek bikes they rent are superior to the competitors.
-Carol Brag from Edmonton, AB
“This is the place to rent bikes in Banff” Aug. 2024
Terrific shop. Everyone who worked there totally knew what they were doing and was committed to helping us get the biking experience we wanted. We rented e-bikes, got a very helpful map of potential bike rides from the store, rated by difficulty, and we were off!
Definitely the way to see the environs of Banff - don’t have to deal with cars, parking, etc. - less hassle than waiting for public transit - and extended our range. We went to Two Jake’s Lake, and then to the Hot Springs on Mountain Ave - a trek but totally worth it at each spot!
This is a winner.

“Best Day Ever!” July 2024
We totally recommend Banff Cycle - the staff were extremely friendly, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. We hired e-bikes and completed the 50km round trip Banff to Johnston Canyon. Fantastic day and we will definitely be coming back to Banff Cycle very soon.
