Bicycles do not emit any greenhouse gases, and this help to lower the emissions on traffic roads. However, the existence of bike lanes on the roads that have subway lines, such as Bloor and Yonge Streets, does not add to the production of emissions.
Additionally, on a busy road such as Avenue, there are spots to park a car that are exist between a lane that is dedicated for vehicles to drive and lane that is dedicated for bicycles to go through. This means that the parked car is exposed on both sides, and puts the driver and their passengers at more risk.
The addition of bike lanes creates a problem in the winter, when snow tends to fall in accumulate. The existence of lanes for bicycles, make it difficult to store snow on the side of the road.
It should also be noted that commuters on bike lanes are put at risk when they are next to cars. As such, bike lanes should be installed on roads that do not have motor vehicles.
