@DurableAce@social.vivaldi.net Being too cautious might be the most disruptive thing newcomers to the NL do on bikes. An superabundance of cautious tourists is one of the main reasons biking in Amsterdam is usually harder than biking in Utrecht. I trained myself to bike safely here by following very old people, and parents with very young children. And not biking at rush hour. Good to review the rules too! https://www.holland2stay.com/blog/dutch-cycling-rules.html On your next trip you might feel more comfortable!
