The bike's major downside is its weight. If it were my own bike I would probably change the wheels to something a bit lighter and more tubeless-friendly, with a rear 160 rotor to boot. Those who stop at the Internment Camp pullout will learn a great deal about this troubling time in Canada’s past. For those who are interested in more information about Canada’s internment camps, there is a better exhibit found at the Banff Cave and Basin, another of the must-see attractions in the national park.

Keep things simple with a durable 1x MicroSHIFT drivetrain that offers plenty of range along with a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quite—and your chain on. Vado is the vehicle for everything from daily commutes to fast workouts to longer-than-planned adventures—an electric bike for life. The smoothest-riding e-Bike experience yet, Vado is designed to boldly take on the ever-changing landscape you’ll encounter as a daily rider, carry whatever you need it to, and keep you riding more often.Johnston Canyon is served by two public transit bus routes. Roam routes 8S and 9 both have bus stops at Johnston Canyon. The Banff Hop-On Hop-Off bus also stops at Johnston Canyon. Of course you could go lighter with all-carbon everything, or even just with alloy from more premium brands, but I didn't see any real need to. Plus, if you're racing a lot of 'cross or riding off-road a lot, alloy bits provide a lot more peace of mind in the event of a crash. Value – On the expensive side, for what you get

You should be aware of a major limitation when using Zwift with the C6 Bike: it is not a “controllable” bike. This refers to a stationary bike or trainer that is smart enough to ratchet up physical resistance when virtually going uphill in Zwift and ease up on the tension on the downhill. Zwift controls how the ride feels, hence the term. Disc brake-specific, single position, vertical rear dropout makes it less intimidating than other bikes in the category

The all-new Levo delivers the unbelievable power to ride more trails through an unequaled combination of ride quality, usable power, and ride anywhere range. It's the distillation, application, and amplification of a 40-year obsession with creating the world's best riding mountain bikes. Since its introduction, Levo has set the bar every other e-MTB aims for, and the new Levo raises that bar again. You can really get into the weeds here, so rather than try to explain it all, I’ll point you to lifestyle blogger Leslie Lambert. She has written a trio of posts that dissect how she transformed her bike, the near-identical IC4 Indoor Cycling Bike from Schwinn, into what she calls a “DIY Peloton.” Other Bike Apps

The MasterMind Turbo Control Unit is your information hub with customizable display fields, including the exact percentage of battery level, and it features our all-new MicroTune function to adjust power delivery in 10% increments, so you get exactly the support you need to experience precisely the ride you want. Note: Pilot Pond is on one of the one-way sections of roadway and is only accessible for those traveling eastbound making it a good stop for those returning to downtown Banff from Lake Louise or the Johnston Canyon hike. Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor, peak 240W /35Nm, 2x you rider amplification (180% assistance), assist up to 28mph. The mountains visible across the Bow Valley, including Storm Mountain, are part of the continental divide. Rain falling on this side flows to the Hudson Bay, while rain on the other side flows to the Pacific Ocean. After linking to the C6 Bike, Zwift measures cadence (pedaling rate) and, supposedly, heart rate. The latter metric perplexes me since it is not connected to a heart-rate sensor attached to my wrist or chest. So how does it get data? You do have the option to use your standalone heart-rate sensor with Zwift.

Johnston Canyon is one of the most popular things to do in Banff for a good reason; it’s a short, easy and incredibly scenic hike. This fun hike follows the shores of Johnston Creek deep into a tall canyon. Along the way, you’ll see many beautiful waterfalls, including the two biggest ones; the Lower Falls and the Upper Falls. Walk into a small cave and get so close to the Lower Falls that you’ll get soaked from the spray! Digging around the Web, I discovered that some users of the C6 Bike use the Peloton and Kinetic apps in tandem—often with an iPad split screen. The Peloton app gives them the spin-class experience they crave in a data-light fashion, while the Kinetic app fills in additional metrics that nerdier riders require. There are a few downsides to using Peloton on the C6 Bike instead of a Peloton bike. You don’t appear on Peloton leaderboards. You can’t use Peloton’s video-chat feature to communicate with other Peloton-using friends (but that’s easily replicated on an iPad with the video chat service of your choice). Worst of all, Peloton’s iOS app is missing two marquee Peloton-bike features that would make me more likely to sign up:

Intentionally setting a forest fire is a big departure from previous Banff National Park management strategies which used to aggressively put out forest fires. Today forest fires are seen as vital to maintaining a healthy forest. The classes that they offer help people who are nervous about cycling and offer a way for people to get together and make new friends.

The enviolo AUTOMATiQ Internal Gear Hub (IGH) stepless shifting technology automatically shifts gears based on a rider’s pedal pace, taking changes in the surroundings into account. By selecting a preferred cadence or pedal pace, it allows riders to “set it and forget it”, adding an extra layer of safety and comfort for riders. As you can see, there are an abundance of excellent stops along Highway 1A. Please note that in addition to the attractions listed below, there are lots of unmarked pullouts along this scenic route. Some are to allow slower vehicles to pull over, but many also have excellent viewpoints, tranquil streams etc. If you pull into one of them, take a moment to look around before resuming your sightseeing. Located in a rare section of montane forest in Banff National Park, this area is rich in wildlife. The forest surrounding the 12 picnic tables consists of old growth aspens and towering evergreen trees. The sound of the trembling aspen leaves is very relaxing. Levo's fully integrated Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor, 700Wh battery, and Turbo Connect Unit deliver category-leading 90 Nm of torque and 565 watts of power for up to five hours of ride time, empowering you to ride farther and faster than ever before. The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and style—from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, we've subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely new layup and process that we've perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S Works, size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it's the first of a new breed.
