I love Dutch, but I’m sorry to say it sounds like a joke language to Germans.
A bicycle is a “fiets” (pronounced like English “feets”).
A small motorcycle is a “bromfiets”.
A bicycle with a gas engine is a “snorrfiets”.
On cycle paths where motorcycles are banned, there’s a sign:
“Dus niet brommen of snorren”.
A bicycle rental is advertized with “fietsen huren” and you can rent a bike on huren.nl (“Find de beste huurdeal”)
(Huren is the German word for prostitutes)

How do you mention the absurdity of the Dutch language and not include
"neuken in de keuken"? ;)
