Given that tires produce a lot of particulate matter, even EV's contribute to pollution significantly.

It's proportional to weight, so I imagine bicycles are negligible.

I would imagine there is more wear and tear on a bike tire because of rough handling.

By a miniscule amount - probably less pollution than that produced by people walking.
