@Mara As an American who just got back from visiting the Netherlands for the first time, it should be illegal to visit a country without knowing literally the first thing people would tell you about getting along there.

It’s not even that crazy to infer from first principles that since bikes have their own lanes, you treat them like you would crossing a car lane without a crosswalk.

Also every walking guide we had literally mentioned it first thing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
