Just take the train.

And then transfer to a bus to get to anywhere outside the city centre. Believe it or not, Bowness, Forest Lawn, and Elbow Park (just to name three communities that are officially part of the inner city) are not a short walk away from the train. To get to any of them by train, I would have to go downtown and transfer there, which easily doubles the distance and quadruples the time compared to driving.
When I am going about the city on business, I don't have the time to spend 90 minutes on buses.

And as someone who drives a lot, but tries to mix in the train during the winter and mix in a bike during the summer (from a little further NW than you) I can’t say you’re on point about traffic OR bike lane usage. It’s manageable, and the bike lanes are buzzing during rush hour (you know, when most of us are commuting).

I've never seen bumper-to-bumper traffic or multi-light waits on a bike lane. Ever. I'll wager you haven't either.
