Back on Belfast streets, yep the tiny town my parents live in The Netherlands is more chill.
But then, the roads are wider, the speed limit is 20mph, not 30 and nearly everyone that drives cycles too. There's parking on cycle lanes there too, and a fair few unlit cyclists (even though Dutch bikes traditionally have dynohubs) but there you go.
Still, it's not bad over here in Belfast bar the fact that some people can't drive for shit, but you get that everywhere too. But more room on the roads/cycle lanes would be nice...less defensive cycling and more chill cycling...
