Could you correct the sentence please
There are the most bikes in Amsterdam.
I want to say that if you compare all the European cities Amsterdam has the most amount of bikes.
In Ukrainian there's a saying The eyes don't see the soul doesn't hurt. (meaning that If I don't know something bad I sleep well.) Do you have the equivalent?

We have a lot of expressions beginning "What the eyes don't see..." . In fact, as with many well-known phrases, we often just use the first half, like "Sticks and stones...". It's a way of saying "You and I both know how the world works, so there's no need to finish this phrase."
The closest to your expression might be "What the eyes don't see, the heart can't feel".
In English, the concept of 'soul' often has a religious connotation, so we tend not to use it in the same way as Russian-speakers might. I think 'heart' works well as an equivalent.

Think you'd have to change it to "What the eyes don't see, the soul can't feel/miss."
.
In English perhaps, What you don't know can't hurt you. <-- close maybe
