Planning to move to the Netherlands. Which city would be a great place to live: Amsterdam or Utrecht? (self.thenetherlands)

I'm an American and I'm thinking about moving to the Netherlands sometime in the future especially if a "certain presidential candidate" gets elected. Now, I've never been to the Netherlands or anywhere in Europe for that matter. Everything I "know" about the country comes from Youtube videos/channels that brag about how great it is. One of the things that gets that touted the most is the cycling infrastructure and walkability. As someone trying to move away from car dependency this seems to be a no-brainer. Amsterdam seems like the obvious choice but I've been told that Utrecht has a better cycling infrastructure. What do you think?

Groningen, Amersfoort, Nijmegen, Den Bosch, Tilburg or Zwolle. Then Utrecht. Amsterdam is dead last, I'd take Den Haag or Rotterdam over Amsterdam any day.
