Most Americans don't get how often you ride a bicycle on "regular" streets in Amsterdam. There are LOTS of streets where "infra" makes no sense.
Never encountered a "tiny little car" in the cycle lanes (either the on street or off street variety), and I recall only one scooter that could have been a "motorcycle" - either way it was at scooter speeds.
I have to admit I did not get used to the people riding scooters in Amsterdam, but even the worst of them didn't rise much above annoying. But I have to admit I *HATED* the people on scooters and people on motorcycles in Seoul.
