The main difference with cycling in Holland & Belgium is their cycle lanes.
They are extremely safe to use and the unwritten rule is that bikes take priority over motor vehicles.
Bikes are also used as a form of transport and not just as a leisure activity.
Maybe one lesson we can learn from them is that they do not jump red lights as either a cyclist or pedestrian. Perhaps why car users are very tolerant of cyclists is that they obey the rules of the road.
