For what it's worth I live in Europe (though I am from the states originally), and I don't see what's the matter here really. Space looks to be reoughly evenly distributed between cyclists and walkers. Of course, most of the bridge is used by rail, but I imagine that was a design constraint.

I'd love it if the bridge were wider, of course, but even so this seems a lot better than the usual treatment cyclists and walkers get.

Agreed. Here's the bike and pedestrian part of one of the main bridges for Gothenburg, Sweden: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:G%C3%B6ta_%C3%A4l... .

The US one seems wider.
