Just happened hours ago
I was with my girlfriend walking back from the beach and when we crossed the cycle pathway the cyclist riding a fast sports bike cursed at my girlfriend and then stopped to get off and park the bike IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BIKEPATH and then started shouting at us saying “look where you’re going!” and kept swearing. I told the man “don’t be so silly and rude you’re making a big deal out of nothing bro..” but he got mad and then called my girlfriend bad names. I’m a very calm person so I don’t want to hit people but I was getting angry. He ride the bike away after cursing and my girlfriend was sad. We ended up having a nice dinner though so the evening wasn’t ruined and she has forgotten already I hope so…
Why are bikers so rude!
I recommend not visiting Amsterdam.
Not sure about other places, but a bike lane is for bikes. If you cross it, its your responsibility to check if you can cross, just like when crossing a road for cars outside of an official crossing (and I recommend being careful then as well).
You were wrong, but the cyclist sounds like an asshole.
