>>1802000I live in Finland, been riding on the "sidewalk" for 30 years.
There are, however, a couple of narrower streets every now and then where you're suddenly not allowed to ride on a bike.
I still do if nobody is looking. But sometimes someone starts screaming at me about it and guess what, it's always a woman with a dog or two.
Every time.
Once I got really pissed off at being called out like that, got off my bike and had a 15-minute psychotic argument with the bitch.
There are literally only 2 streets in my city where you're supposed to ride alongside cars which makes me not give a fuck and it's also dangerous in a country where you have dark and long winters.
