I agree: Amsterdam was the scariest pedestrian experience ever! To add to the described situation delivery cars often stop in bike lanes, which shifts bikes not to the car lane but to a sidewalk! I was practically assaulted when cyclist hit me from behind and was yelling and swinging bike lock at me for not letting him the right of way. Downtown Amsterdam? Never again.

On the positive side: if you hadn't yielded to a car, you would've been dead!

Yeah, is a bit weird when people jump in front of traffic and then complain that they almost got hurt.

I was on a sidewalk. Yes I expect not to be hurt on sidewalk by cars as well as bikes.

True, adults on bikes or scooters should have no business there, but way too often they ride there.

I routinely turn all "angry old man" on them and tell them "bike lane's on the road / other side of the street." Rules aren't just for cars.
