  • Speaking as someone who was thrown into being a pedestrian in this city with no training:

    Just go slow and steady (don’t dash forwards) and the cyclists will go around you. Telegraph what you’re up to if you’re worried.

    The only reason cars would be safer if because of how ineffective they’d be (i.e. average speed of 2km/h).

    Stuff like knowing that standing on red means you’re in the bike lane makes it a lot less scary.

    And yeah the worst spots are directly outside the central station, and probably on the bridges in the Jordaan. Apart from that you can pick up the rhythm in under an hour.
