Lots of bikes do not equal cycling utopia... Jeez cycling round Amstedam wasn't the fun I expected, and doesn't compare at all to riding in Copenhagen... So it would help to know the rules of the road properly (though again 'dammers flaunt them religiously) but the place is stonkingly busy with bikes and pedestrians and cars and mopeds and and and.
Yes, cars. And don't for a moment think Amsterdam is completely full of segregated cycle lanes. It 'aint. And a lot of the roads you share with cars are narrow, and the drivers sit RIGHT on your tail or squeeze by closer than I can ever think of being passed in Edinburgh. One main road was shared with trams and in the squeeze to get though a scooter driver physically elbowed a cyclist out of the way while moving!
I think we'll stick to feet tomorrow. There certainly are THOUSANDS of bikes going about, but it really is a bit of a maelstrom....
