I have to admit, Calgary traffic scares me, never mind winter. I grew up in FSJ and ice and snow is dangerous on a bike - even more so if you factor in no formal bike trails and drivers who either don't care or don't notice bikes.

However, I have decided that being car-free is not a good thing in Calgary and refuse to do anything but walk or use public transit.

Been looking at longer rides having pedalled a lot previously in Victoria (daily to/from work) as a summertime thing - either to Bragg Creel or Sibbald. The choices are based on range really, I'ma go eBike for this, but intend on seriously pedalling. I just want to make sure I get there and without rubber legs.
