I lived in Amsterdam for more than ten years and recently moved to a smaller city. Amsterdam really has it's own bike "culture". Cyclist in the rest of Holland are far more forgiving to pedestrians and other traffic in general in my experience. I have no trouble cycling in Amsterdam, but I do have to pay a lot more attention than normally.

The over abundance of naive tourists blocking the way probably destroyed any goodwill Amsterdammers may have had.

Yup, two completely different worlds. A red sign is treated more like a suggestion ;-)
