I have adjusted and tightened it. I have placed a thick elastic band between the mounting and the handlebar for more friction, but it still flops about after going over a few bumps on the bikepath. Do any of you experience this as well, and if so, have you any tips on a permanent solution?

"During hot summer days, Amsterdam municipal workers spray water on movable bridges to prevent the metal structures from expanding and jamming shut. This cooling process is triggered when temperatures reach 22–23°C and becomes critical above 25°C, as the heat causes steel and asphalt to expand beyond the narrow 8–10 millimeter clearance designed into the bridges.

The water is pumped from the canals below via fire hydrants and is used on specific routes, including the Hortusbrug and Berlagebrug on the East Route, and the Zeilstraatbrug, Kinkerbrug, and Wiegbrug on the West Route. While this practice ensures that both road/tram traffic and shipping vessels can continue to operate smoothly, it results in wet road surfaces, requiring cyclists and pedestrians to exercise extra caution."

Edit:

I've been sitting here for about 40 minutes having a late lunch and I've witnessed 2 people fall off their bikes. They tried navigating the bend in the fietsen lane at too high a speed and went sliding.
