The bikes have their own dedicated lanes and pedestrians avoid them and they are usually separated by a curb from motorized traffic.
Helmets ?? VERY few. Except for the spandex crowd (that has colour-co-ordinated helmets and riding gear), most riders do not have helmets.
Babies, children, boxes, bags, luggage, yes.
Helmets.... not so much.
During a month in Sweden & Denmark I saw ZERO bike accidents and just one scooter accident - a yob riding too fast right off a cruise liner in Stockholm hit a curb and bounced in the most amusing way.
No injury except to his pride.
