So I went to Amsterdam for 3 days, I didn't cycle, I did not want to without knowing the roads, I'm probably going to go back at some point and try to see more and ride a bike.
I can't quite understand anything but riding in a straight line or turning right. I guess if I'm turning right, anyone from my left or from straight on has to give way and let me go, or if anyone is coming from my right, unless I'm turning right, I have to let them go.
But turning left? How does that work, I understand that anyone from the left would have to give way to you, but drivers coming from straight on? If they're going straight on, or turning, who does what to left turning cyclist?
It's probably obvious but it seems confusing, and when it comes to trams, I guess regardless of green light, gotta let tram go past or get squashed?
The locals seem like nutters some of them, riding down the road with their heads in their iPhone, riding none handed, on pavements, or no lights in the dark, or bikes falling apart.
I guess their is no Strava segments too, as the speed limit is like 20mph?
