At the tram stop just now, right next to some of the best bicycle infrastructure you'll ever see, an American tourist came to me to ask me if the Dutch government was doing anything about "this terrible bicycle problem" we have in the Netherlands. 🙃

If you want to exprience our "terrible bicycle problem" yourself, here's a video I recorded a few years ago of me biking through the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZUHHBbz_kQ
(Said tram stop is roughly at the start of the video.)
He was really concerned to see so many bicycles everywhere. To his American brain, bicyclists were a terrible thing. He said he almost got hit by a bicyclist multiple times today. (Presumably by walking in the middle of the bicycle road. I don't know how else you manage to do that.) 🙃
