Cycling

"Sharrow" markings ease the way for cyclists on designated bike routes

Cycling is a great way to get around Banff.

On the Streets

A cycling network through Banff is identified by sharrows, pavement markings that alert motorists to share the road with cyclists.

Sharrows connect the Legacy Trail from northeast Banff Avenue to Marten and Lynx/Bear  to Buffalo Street, and from Glen to Spray Avenue to connect to the Spray River Trail. They also lead to Vermillion Lakes and reconnect to the western portion of the Legacy Trail.

Cyclists may also use most of Banff's trail network, except:

Cascade Gardens within the gardens or on the trail that climbs up alongside them.

Bow River Trail between Central Park and Wolf Street

Bow Falls Riverside pedestrian trail (use the adjacent multi-use trail instead), or the clifftop/staircase sections.

Sundance Canyon Loop, Tunnel Mountain Trail, Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle are hiking only.
