too many cyclists?
Another thing Amsterdam has to invest in on education. Cyclist are not required to learn absolutely nothing before getting in their bikes and hit the roads, that, mixed with the fact that cyclist for some strange reason tend to think they have all the rights in the road create lots of problems for pedestrians, car drivers and even other cyclists. Living in Amsterdam and being a pedestrian, a car driver and a cyclist I have found myself with cyclists driving agains the traffic in one way streets, parking on the walkway (even in front of my apartment door, just because I live next to a shoes store and they HAVE to park), almost getting hit by a bike that did not respected a red light, bikes using the walk cross just not to wait for their own line to open, bikes crossing the assigned bike lane to pass others driving right in front of my car, bike with no lights, etc, etc. etc. A basic street etiquette and rules of the road SHOULD and MUST be enforced for the sake and safety of all of us on the road. Of course we need a much more strict control over scooters drivers.....a complete different kind of human beings or almost human beings
