Dont worry, lemmings worry about some shutdown every other week. Been here since the API closures, and its quite nice (if you block the news communities)

As a person who regularly cycles through Amsterdam (even the centre), the issus is tourist pedestrians. The city does a bare minimum to cater for these travellers, because most of the visits are temporal.

As a cyclist and/or pedestrian, I am never frustrated by locals cycling or walking.

The rule is “its harder for a cyclist to stop than a pedestrian, so be predictable with where you are going and we’ll all avoid an accident”.

The flow people you walk about is a problem for travellers, not for locals.
