World-class riding awaits cycling enthusiasts of all sorts in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Whether you’re cycling fetish involves 8 inches of give or 500 horse power, Jasper is a great place to ride. From quad-busting climbs on the Pyramid Mountain Fire Road to stretches of open asphalt that wind past Glacier National Park, the Rocky Mountains are cycling paradise. To get you sorted on whatever type of cycle you ride, visit one of these Jasper bike shops.

Vicious Cycle is a respected mountain bike shop that’s been serving Jasper National Park visitors and locals alike for nearly 15 seasons. Centrally located in a downtown Jasper heritage building on Connaught Drive, the gang at Vicious is always open to talking bikes and giving directions to some amazing Rocky Mountain single track.

Freewheel Cycle on Patricia Street is a bit more granola than its vicious competition, with a strong focus on being a good corporate citizen and community partner. But make no mistake, these kids know what it takes to get Jasper mountain bikers ready to rip. They have good deals on bike tune ups and offer excellent mountain biking specials that include 2 for 1 bike rentals and demos on Mondays.

“Our staff is friendly, knowledgeable and just as fired up as you to get out and go ride,” says the Freewheel web site. “We want to help you to become the rider you want to be –and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.”

As for those biking enthusiasts more motivated by motors, Jasper can cater to you as well. Jasper Motorcycle Tours has great gear for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to pick up supplies or souvenirs. They also rent bikes that range from Harley Davison Sportsters to Honda VTXs and offer side car tours throughout the park, all at very reasonable rates.

So regardless of whether you are visiting Jasper National Park to Mountain bike or to hit high speeds on a motorbike along the endless Rocky Mountain highways, there is something in Jasper National Park for riding enthusiasts of every kind.
