Cycling to IKEA is (trivially) easy in Amsterdam, and cycling infrastructure in the suburbs is actually better - and safer - than near the city centre. But while that may be common in the Netherlands, it's very uncommon elsewhere, and it has knock-on effects that increase car traffic and limit the options to people in the city. I definitely prefer the Dutch approach here.

This video was not sponsored by IKEA. They actually got pretty upset that I was filming there. ;)

... also, this was filmed before the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands, so that wasn't a concern (or a reason for the light traffic).
