And Rotterdam is known as the least bike-friendly place in Holland, as far as I know.
Here's that Munich bike lane a little further to the north.

I'm not impressed. Though it's better than nothing if a street has heavy, fast traffic, it's way too narrow - even though the sidewalk is quite wide most of the way. In fact, they should have carved a much wider bike path from the sidewalk.
