Calgary, Alberta, stands out as a cycling city with expansive, well-maintained pathways weaving through its urban and natural landscapes. At the heart of this network lies the Bow River Pathway system—stretching nearly 48 kilometers along the river, this corridor offers immersive encounters with the city’s more serene and scenic sides.

Move at your own pace past wildlife like white-tailed deer and various waterfowl, or pause to admire distinct geological features such as the river’s layered sandstone banks.
Calgary’s pathway network—one of the longest urban trail systems in North America—also snakes through parks, historic sites, and bridges, including the famed Prince’s Island Park and Centre Street Bridge. Riding a Pedego here isn’t just about the pedal—the electrical assistance puts focus on sightlines and experience over exertion, making it ideal for newcomers, casually fit locals, or visitors eager to cover ground comfortably.
