I was there (Amsterdam) in the summer of 2017 and this is true. In fact your pic doesn't even begin to do it justice. The bike rack coming off the ferry is about the size of 2 football fields and is double stacked storing bikes.

Regarding the whole pot smoking thing... The native population really does not smoke pot in public settings to much. If you run into someone walking the streets smoking pot, 99% of the time it is someone from out of country.

Also a couple of other interesting facts about Amsterdam...

You can legally buy alcohol at 13 or 14 (don't remember which...)

But you cannot get a drivers license until you 20...

They think we are crazy for letting our teenagers drive..
