It's amazing how cyclists will make almost exactly the same arguments in favour of riding their private bikes everywhere that car drivers make in favour of driving their private cars everywhere.

The OV bikes are heavy, have no gears, and you need to know how to use the back-pedal for braking. And, if memory serves, they run 5 euro a day. Also, not available to non-residents, so you need a resident friend's OV card to get them.
One alternative that's great for the "last kilometer" problem is a kick-scooter. I didn't see these in the Netherlands, but they would be a good fit. They fold smaller than a person, and can go everywhere.
