I find identifying tolerance of infractions as the most important indicator of friendliness to cyclists is somewhat bizarre. It's one fairly abstract measure of the city's attitude towards bikes—actual physical infrastructure has a demonstrably more tangible effect on the daily lives of cyclists.
What's more, many of the infractions you cite are in direct response to the lack of adequate cycle infrastructure. Cyclists generally don't *want* to travel on sidewalks—they do so when the infrastructure provides inadequate protection.
I agree with your identification of some rules and laws that could use an update, but the reality is the city's cycling infrastructure more closely resembles that of, say, Phoenix (or similar), than Copenhagen (or similar).
