Bike pump tracks

Bike pump tracks

Bike pump tracks are progressive circuits where riders use an up and down pumping motion to propel the bike forward instead of pedaling.

Increasingly popular among Calgarians, pump tracks are perfect for practicing balance, learning skills and improving confidence on a bike.

If you are trying mountain biking for the first time or want to develop advanced skills, visit one of Calgary's bike pump tracks.

The larger track is for riders with more experience. It is 204 metres long with eight berms and 27 roller jumps. The park has plenty of seating, so it is a great place for families to take a break.

Creation of the South Glenmore pump track was a collaborative effort by the Parks Foundation, Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance and The City of Calgary.
