That's interesting.
Anyway, are you suggesting that people should ride where there are no bike paths?
Eh? I don't get why you ask that question.
If one has to get from A to B outside the larger Danish cities, that's what one is left with in very many places. I also think that is one of the major reasons that our fatality rate is slightly higher than the Dutch, and it certainly contributes to the low rate of cycling outside the cities (not least among school children). Of course, if one is out for a round on the racer, that's the roads one will use, too. Luckily, on most of the larger roads with fast traffic, the shoulders are of a nice width.
