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.

I have no idea. But I know I wouldn't ride my bike on many of those busier roads.
Last week I saw this cyclist riding about 10 km an hour on 16th ave near 19th st NW. I assume he was very drunk. Swerving around. No shirt. He was in the middle of the right hand lane taking his time. About a half hour later I was going back the other direction and so was he. I am not sure where he ended up. lol
