We were in AMS and The Netherlands for the first time last May. These pics were taken around 3:30pm in AMS in the afternoon which I suppose is approaching rush hour. The number of bikes in AMS was overwhelming. Bike parking at train stations, etc, was overflowing. The local drivers, riders, and pedestrians were OK, but for a tourist like me, it was confusing as to which walk/ride/drive signal to pay attention to when I wanted to cross the street. I guess you get used to it, though.
