This site is talking about Edmonton, but the rules are the same in Calgary:

That sounds suspicious, but it might be true. From memory, the TSA states that bikes are essentially cars unless the context clearly suggests otherwise, and I'm pretty sure I can't drive my truck down a crosswalk to avoid a red light (although, if I can, my commute is about to get a lot better).
