In my experience cycling in both cities my (unreliably anecdotal) impression is that general courtesy by cyclists to pedestrians, other cyclists and even motorized traffic is forced to be better in Montreal because of the terrific cycling lanes.
After all, when you've got this to work with...

It would be so amazing if Toronto had a real network of cycling lanes like in my link above.
