At 2:00 a pedestrian with a baby stroller is afraid to cross the bike traffic, which is not good. She would have done better if she were more assertive.
I enjoy riding in Amsterdam very much, but assertiveness helps a lot, especiallly towards taxi cabs and motorists who act like them. But in general cyclists and pedestrians will work it out togehter, official rules and infrastructure won't help you a lot, it's the anarchy that's working, the unwritten rules made the people themselves.
