3 places to ride your electric bike in Calgary

 

The loop around the Glenmore Reservoir

Experience a true city-life oasis as you complete a 16 kilometre loop around one of Calgary’s largest bodies of water and through Weaselhead Natural Area. You’ll ride along Calgary’s water reservoir through the only delta in the city, and eventually pass the mouth of the Elbow River as it flows into the Glenmore Reservoir. Take your e-bike for a ride early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the majority of the foot traffic. This pathway is chock-full of natural wonders to take in - including waterfront views with mountains in the distance and a truly colourful experience as the leaves turn in the fall. This is considered a perfect route for a leisurely ride, especially on an electric bike.
