The truth about cycling in Netherlands is that these complaints usually come from tourists (you won’t see them from the Dutch for the simple reason that most Dutch pedestrians are cyclists themselves). Tourists who are simply not used to a system where cyclists get equal importance as cars. Of course, since cyclists are humans, I’m sure there are some assholes, and there are probably cases where non assholes also make mistakes. The difference, as the numbers clearly show, is that in cities where the biggest fear is mad max cyclists, the number of deaths are hundreds fewer than where car driving is the norm.
