Cycling The Bow Valley Parkway (Banff - Johnston Canyon)

#ebikes #ebikerides #radpowerbikes #touristhotspot #BowValleyParkway #banffnationalpark #banff #johnstoncanyon
Have you ever wanted to cycle Hwy1A or the Bow Valley Pathway? It is closed during May for the exclusive use of cyclists and is a great opportunity to take in the sights and sounds without motorised vehicular traffic. Get an early start and enjoy this ride as a good start to your summer.
For those of you that just want to research the ride beforehand, this video is also for you.
Some notes on this ride:
- The ride-in is approximately a 25km journey (50km with the return) with some steep ascents.
- You will need a fully charged battery.
- There are facilities along the way.
- It may be chilly, so dress accordingly.
- It is bear country, so remember your bear spray.
- You can cycle on to Johnston Canyon and hike up the canyon.
- There are limited facilities at the Canyon but there are spaces available to lock your bike.

Thank you. I try to keep it casual, like friends having a banter.

Nice video. We're riding this route in a few weeks and I found this really helpful(and calming).
