I like 'em.  I don't like bike people being close to my van, and on those occasional evenings when this middle aged guy goes out for a short putter, I like having the barrier.  Toronto is junior to Montreal, though.  ON our way out east we stopped for a visit and they have lanes everywhere.

Bike lanes are the product of self-indulgence among the upper middle class, and environmental ideological activism by progressives. They make no earthly sense in our environment, and are mostly unused. They narrow roads, choking traffic, the cost of which is enormous, and so, ultimately, produce more pollution by creating traffic jams than their few users can possibly save by abandoning their cars.
