A nice feature in Boston that seems little used is that commuter rail trains allow bikes during certain hours, including the entire weekend. allowing one to get outta town bypassing city riding. I know TO has a great subway system. Can you ferry bikes by rail?
Yes and No to your question, you can outside of rush hour, the subway however doesn't get you out of the city, I live near one of the terminal stations. There is GO which is regional, but again bikes are only allowed during certain times, on certain routes although buses for both the TTC and GO now seem to be growing bike racks...
