In big European cities there is a lot more infrastructure and history in riding bicycles. In terms of intersections that is different than someone riding at you in a well marked bike lane on purpose. Having a lot of bicyclists generally following the rules but in large quantities isn't so bad.

Comparing any of this to densely populated city with motorbikes weaving in and out in places known for that is quite different as well. I am not saying any of what they do is good but in many of those places there isn't a clear demarkation for lanes and roads in a lot of situations or people aren't following it but kind of as a whole less so as a few individuals.
