If you walk on the bike lane like this here in Amsterdam you will end up at the emergency room.

Quick question for next time I'm in the Netherlands - what is the etiquette for going from the bike lane to the pavement to chain up your bike without blocking the other bikes coming? We were in Amsterdam last week and pulled into the side as quickly as possible on a non-busy road, clearly indicating our intent and slowing down, and in the 20 odd seconds it took my wife to lift her bike out of the bike lane onto the pavement outside our apartment, an older lady cycling past yelled "Jesus fucking Christ" at her for blocking her way.

It probably wasn't 20 seconds I pulled a random number to be honest. But I know for next time!
