It depends what you want to do with it. Friction generates heat, which can be good (if you are cold), or bad (if you are not). Friction slows down movement, which can be good (if you are about to crash into a tree with your car), or bad (if you need high performance in an engine for instance).

Friction can be either good or bad depending on where it is. Friction between parts that are meant to stay put is a good thing, friction between parts that are supposed to move is a bad thing. Tires for instance are meant to roll along the road, not slide. Here, friction is good. But then you cone to the hubs. In here, the wheel has to move around the axle. Here, friction is bad. Here, friction will turn effort that would otherwise have gone into moving the bike forward into heat, which is no use to the rider at all.
