Any Dutch old enough to remember when Amsterdam was full of cars and almost zero bikes ?

I wonder how the transition went and what effects were ?

I was mind wandering the other day:

- biking is less stressful than driving [1]

- promotes human contact

- promotes prolonged activity

- has very low cost

- almost zero carbon emission (keep breathing people)

- allows more capacity / density in urban environments

But it's all bedroom speculation so if anyone can give his own experience.

[1] considering no dangerous vehicles near, you're less hurried, and less angry at others for no reasons, enjoying the view rather than ruminating the traffic jam
