Answer 3

it is not too bicycle friendly, but if you ride your bike around there you might encounter lots of cars.

Answer 4

Compared to European cities like Amsterdam and bike-friendly North American cities like Vancouver, Toronto is definitely not bike-friendly. I would say it's average as far as bike-friendly cities go. There are dedicated bike lanes on some streets, although they are not separated from car traffic and frequently people park in them. Also, traffic poses a hazard as they do not always take bikes into account. Streetcar tracks downtown pose a big hazard for bicycles. If you must cross them to turn left, always cross at a right angle. Toronto's cycling map may prove useful to you in planning safe routes: http://www.toronto.ca/cycling/map/index....
