As a part of Heritage days, hop on your bike for a ride through the history of Brussels and cycling.
Brussels and the bicycle have had a colourful relationship: at times tragic, often turbulent, but increasingly positive. Its story can be read throughout the city. Cycling has left its mark on the Brussels cityscape and continues to reshape it as more space is gradually won for life on two wheels. Read the streets from the saddle and trace the bicycle from its earliest days to the present. Meet the organisations championing cycling, follow sections of EuroVelo 5 and explore the capital’s bike-friendly routes. From the first Critical Mass rides and cycling cafés to the Fête de la Charge and the Grand Hospice hub, this tour will turn you into a true Brussels cycling insider!
This guided tour was created in collaboration with Urban Brussels and with the support of the National Lottery, committed to preserving heritage and ensuring access to culture for everyone.
