In downtown Helsinki, yes. It's more common for cyclists to share the sidewalk with pedestrians though. There are also places where cyclists ride among traffic but never on big-ass highways like that. Pretty sure you'd get the cops called on you fairly quick if you tried
Jesus H what I wouldn't give to move to a place like that. I don't even need to speak the language, I just wanna ride bikes in nice communities where pedestrians, bikes, and communal spaces are the norm. And I like cars (just not car-dependency, and not in cities).
I was going to say that Dutch looks like English except for some words. It must be the same when Spanish speakers look at Italian. But then I looked up the one word there and saw it was Finland. When I look at Finnish, I think Korean or Japanese since their words are so agglutinated.
I find it better to let them suffer. Remember, in the Netherlands if a motorist and a cyclist have an accident, the motorist is always at fault. Always, even if the cyclist is doing a handstand on the handlebars with one hand and flipping the motorist off with the other.
:what-the-hell:
I think I'm gonna have nightmares about that picture

meanwhile
So the bikes have their own mini road system? Now that I've seen this I will be angry forever that the US doesn't have this shit.

Finnish and Korean might be related languages
Well that's an interesting idea. Had to go searching: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-the-Finnish-and-Korean-languages-may-share-a-common-root

Thankfully you never see that many bikes in one place around here, that stresses me out just looking at it
Cars should just be forbidden there.
