Cyclists don't belong on usual car roads, not the usual roads that aren't wide enough so car can pass the bike safely without crossing the center line. The problem is, to all other motorized traffic, bikes are not part of the traffic but an obstacle that has to be avoided, usually in very limited space with a lot of things happening all around you. Many cyclists unfortunately don't ride with that in mind (changing lanes without looking back, 2 cyclists riding next to each other etc.). It doesn't matter if you are a pedestrian walking 5kmh or biker going 30kmh, when cars drive 50/60 kmh. Not even going into topic of roads outside of cities, those fools riding in 90kmh traffic when there is 0 extra space on the side of the roads are basically asking to be killed by somebody not momentarily paying enough attention to the road. Even if 99.9% of the drivers do drive carefully, that 1 out of thousands drivers can become a real event pretty quickly on popular roads. Emergencies and morgues have visitors because of these. Now how to achieve a good situation for everybody in Dutch/Danish style is a great question, especially in congested centers of the towns that are already designed and there is often no extra room for dedicated bike lanes. I don't claim I know the proper answer that would be OK with majority of the population of average western country. Even a narrow yellow bike lane on the side of the road would be great but I don't see them as often as I should, meaning there are not enough continuous bike paths that take you to most part of the cities. At least not around the place I live.
