Not everywhere in Europe. In Finland, the bicyclist is the guilty party, even when you slip on the icy streets in the winter and a car behind your drives over you, not keeping enough distance. And yet they don't let you use the sidewalks, where bicycles would really belong, after cars have devoured all the streets. Bicycles are also discriminated against on multi-use paths; the motorists are supposed to let pedestrians to cross the road, but not bicyclists. In many ways, Finland is close to America than (central) Europe, being very sparsely populated. The car is the king here, everyone else beware.
