Don't cycle if you can't cycle. You only annoy the people who do know how to ride a bike.

Thank you for your comment. We made it from point A to point B and had a blast. Be on the lookout for us cycling down the street when we return.

Maybe it would have been better to really learn how to ride a bike and master the traffic rules (written and unwritten) before moving through the 19th century and older parts of the city of Amsterdam. For me it was nice to see the streets from my childhood again, so thank you for that.

Clearly we are tourists that didn’t know what we were doing, along with a lot of other tourists that do the same. Fortunately we made it without any injuries. We had a great time and would do it all over again and would better understand the rules next time. Learning by doing is the best approach, and I’m happy that the video offered some entertainment and enjoyment for you.

OMG these are literally the worst parts to cycle in Amsterdam, I avoid them as much as possible 😅 Btw, "not just bikes" has the ranking and it agrees with me, as far as I remember.

If you didn't grow up in the system it's dangerous to flout the rules like that (running red lights, going the wrong way down one way roads, cycling in pedestrian areas, etc.). I always advise foreigners to stick to the rules, even if you see the locals break them. They have a lifetime of experience knowing when it's safe to do that (or they aren't locals and are acting just as dangerously). You could get hurt, or hurt someone else.

@@urbandiscount Thankfully people have been forgiving of me my entire life. I'm one of many tourist that make this choice on a daily basis. It appears the city should require bike rental companies to provide in depth course and details on rules that tourists don't know. I just picked up the bike and wasn't provided any details about rules. The city should also invest in policing the environment to ticket ignorant tourists like myself; because, when I return, I'll do it all over again :)

@@TaylorTribble What an obnoxious attitude. It's the responsibility of a visitor to a foreign country to familiarise themselves with the rules. That doesn't really require an in depth course, a single KZfaq video will do. Would you have the same attitude when renting a car? "Oh well the rental company didn't tell me about maximum speeds or which side of the road to drive on or where I can drive, so I'll just blast everywhere I want in a straight line, other road users be damned! Blame the city for not stopping me!"

@@captainchaos3667 I would welcome your constructive instructional video guide on tips and tricks for safely riding bikes in Amsterdam with a focus on common mistakes that tourists make, but I don't notice any videos on your channel. When it comes to driving, I took a 6 months required course to learn the rules because our government knows that these courses are in the best interest of the citezens. The roads are also policed and tickets are given out when breaking the rules. As I mentioned, I was with my wife and 3 daughters and would never knowingly put them in danger. What you saw was a 20 minute video; we rode bikes for a total of 5 hours around Amsterdam during our stay and not once did anyone tell us that we were doing anything wrong. If you care so deeply about the safety of tourists and citizens riding bikes in Amsterdam, please get to work on the video guide and share it with me; I'd gladly take your safety tips next time I'm riding in Amsterdam.

Maybe when you stop at a traffic light, actually stop BEFORE the crossing, not in the middle of the it.

Next time make yourself acquainted with the rules of the road beforehand, much safer for everyone that way. 😊

Thank you for watching and commenting on my video. This sounds like a training issue. Maybe the city should require bike rental companies to provide in depth details on rules. I was with my wife and 3 daughters and wouldn’t do anything to put them in harms way. We had a blast! Keep an eye out for us next time we are in Amsterdam cycling down the road.
