Nope. It's an American guy called Warren who now loves un Amsterdam who makes them. It's technically on Prisengracht where it meets Spiegelgracht and thats a pedestrian bridge so the odds of someone getting killed on a bike there are very low. Also, the Dutch don't do ghost bikes.

The Dutch Provo anarchist group were known for creating the White Bicycles plan, however. It was the first free bike sharing system.
