Given the Dutch had horrific traffic problems 40 years ago and decided to fix it by making walking and cycling the priority, I think that suspicion has no basis in fact.

I've cycled loads in Amsterdam and it's brilliant, I never had any problems that weren't my own fault. I was nervous at first cos everyone looked so confident and were doing casual wrist-flick indicating but once you get used to it it's fantastic, you're kind of swept along with the throng.

So all I have read about the Netherlands being a cyclists' paradise is not entirely true? It backs up my suspicion that much cycle infrastructure is built for cars rather than cyclists (i.e. get them off my roads).
