I didn’t know that, I’ve only been to Amsterdam, what is different in other cities?
Less tourists on bikes that are the most dangerous cyclists around, every Dutch person knows :-)
Dutch person checking in, can confirm. I had to stop my Syrian classmate from crossing the bike paths without looking in, you guessed it, Amsterdam!
I once rented a tourist bike in Amsterdam because my own bike broke down and the OV bikes were all rented out. I was surprised how often other cyclists rang the bell to me and how people were keeping me distance. That tourist bike was a big warning sign to every other cyclist.
Less tourists, but also significantly more well-behaved cyclists. Amsterdam is notorious for cyclists and pedestrians alike ignoring traffic lights and road rules. Amsterdam is the exception rather than the rule.
