Has that changed recently?
I remember looking that up one time and I thought that bikes weren't allowed on pretty much any of "Trails" in Calgary (i.e. Macleod, Crowchild, Glenmore, Blackfoot, etc.). I'm sure I read that on the City's web site sometime within the last 5 years. I think the official rule was any roadway with a speed limit of 60km/h or greater, and the rule of thumb was any road with "Trail" in its name.
Also, Stephen Avenue seems like it would be the best place downtown to allow bicycles. They should just designate the road part of the street for bikes during the day, although, traveling North-South downtown seems to be a bigger problem on a bike than traveling East-West.
