Your guide to cycling in Amsterdam

I must admit I have some doubts.

Just for comparison, this is an unofficial instruction video, aimed at helping the very same tourists to blend in with the Amsterdam bike traffic.

LOL.

Shoulda watched this before wiping out like an idiot without precautionary potatoes last week.
