Great advice. I would say drive assured with a sense of self-respect (but not overdo it with arrogance) instead of as if you are a vulnerable, insignificant exception. But then again I live in a country where a lot of bicycle drivers are (NL). I often drive in the middle of the (one way) bike lane, so that others cannot pass me easily. That's intentional. I often drive with my kids, and I don't want you to pass them quickly on your electric bike. I'm cool if you gotta slow down and use your bell. Also, you want to give yourself some space on the right for a myriad of reasons so much that its a better default. So yes, those behind me will be annoyed that they have to slow down, but its in our mutual interest (a bicyclist who gets hit by a car always has the legal side with them compared to car). In Amsterdam though, good luck as pedestrian. Bicyclists will ignore you and zebra (they're legally bound to stopping for you). When I worked in Amsterdam at some point I got really annoying at a certain crossing. I'd always put up my right arm and fist for visibility as well as they'd hit my fist before they'd hit me.
