[You Need A Thneed]

Calgary is good for commuting if you live close to one of the river valleys, as those paths take you downtown with very few road crossings.

But like Bigtime said, no bike lanes downtown or near downtown.

Recreational biking is pretty good, but for commuter biking, more bike lanes are needed. Pathways aren't always very good for that, as the law requires you (technically) to dismount and walk across roadways.
