Exactly, and that makes it the biggest problem in Calgary since people are always so quick to proclaim our abundance of pathways.
But I have to tell you I hate the "we are a winter city" excuse that gets trotted out a close second. I've known people in Calgary that bike commute YEAR ROUND. I think they are crazy, but I also think people pulling the "winter city" card are a bunch of pansies.
