On the whole crosswalk thing, there is actually no law that prohibits cyclists from riding through a crosswalk. You simply give up the protection you would have had by dismounting and acting as a pedestrian.
This site is talking about Edmonton, but the rules are the same in Calgary:
Quote:
There is currently no section in the Edmonton Traffic Bylaw 5590 or the Alberta Traffic Safety Act specifically dealing with cyclists in crosswalks. Cyclists are not legally required to dismount at crosswalks and there is nothing to prohibit a cyclist from riding along a crosswalk.
...
If a cyclist chooses to ride his or her bike along the crosswalk, they are considered a vehicle. The crosswalk only serves to provide protection for pedestrians.
