That's AMS Centraal Station. Important to remember where you left your bike. :-) I've used it numerous times with no problems. Newer facilities like Delft are a bit better: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2...entral-station

Yes, you should visit NL. Make sure to spend some time outside of AMS. It's second only to Rotterdam for worst bicycling in the country (however still much better than ANY city outside of The Netherlands). AMS is getting better though. A lot of stuff that would have been updated before now was put on hold until completion of a new tube and other projects. Things are finally starting to move again.

Strongly suggest doing Cycling Study Tour in Assen and Groningen, Netherlands (Holland) if you have time. David does a good job explaining Dutch infrastructure (the good and bad) and does everything in a way to create an enjoyable 3 days.
