Nothing new about hating on Dutch bicycling infrastructure - The two most prominent
Johnnies of Vehicular Cycling have a long history of unfounded hating all things related to Dutch cycling because it doesn't fit their scheme of efficient cycling.

A related sub specious of cyclists who may hate to ride in Amsterdam are those who are devotees of the two Johnnies and believe cycling task number one is maximizing so-called efficiency and speed for every ride regardless of location or destination. They seem to believe that their priority placed on so-called efficiency and maximum speed per output of effort trumps all other cycling concerns like practicability, comfort and/or pleasure.
