If you are looking for a relaxing and hassle free cycling holiday destination then Belgium could prove the perfect place for your adventure. Belgium is a relatively flat country, which means that there are no difficult gradients to destroy your equilibrium, and there are over 1,200 miles of off-road trail along former railway lines and beside canals and other waterways. Several Greenways also criss cross the country. Flemish and Walloon regional administrations are constantly improving these excellent routes and considering cyclists in their traffic planning. Many of the car-free trails are well-paved and gentle, so anyone can enjoy them on two wheels. It is easy to find GPS guided routes for independently touring tourists, or you could join a cycle tour to meet new people and have some company on your travels.
Belgium is very much geared up for cyclists. Cycling is a popular national pastime and almost 90% of Flemish households have at least one bicycle. This means that all road users are used to sharing the roads with bikes and that the roads are in generally good condition. Cyclists also have much more opportunity to travel along the country side, since most of the major roads are relatively flat. And along the coasts, in the main cities and in the Flemish countryside, cycling is not just a way of life but a way of income.
People can even opt to road their bikes along certain canal towpaths. Brusels is one of the best places to visit if you are looking to cycle in Belgium and this is the place that many foreign tourists flock to in order to see the unique canal system. The main canal network in Belgium is actually comprised of three major networks: the Teviot River, the Methyl Bazilet and the Monolith. There are several locks that separate the Teviot River into its different parts and these locks are very difficult to navigate for cyclists. So the best thing to do if you are cycling in Belgium is to apply for a cycling ticket in order to be able to access the various locks.
In order to cycle on the locks you must provide your own helmet and gloves, but there are some parks where the local catering company will provide a suitable hard-shell helmet for a minimal cost. You should also ensure your bike has a good care certificate, as this will ensure that the bike is well maintained and that it is safe to use.
Local cycling routes can vary depending on what you are after. If you are looking for a route that will take you around the various locks that are situated across the country you may be able to find one on the internet. Each lock has its own particular history and etiquette issues, so you will want to seek out the lock that is most suited to your needs.
Some of the more popular Flemish canals include Bruges, West, Prior and Limburg. It is a great way to see the Canals and is a fantastic way to see the huge expanse of water. It is however advisable to book your cycling tickets in advance as there are always those that are sold out. It is possible to cycle the whole length of the Flemish canals if you do your research well and always make sure to start and end at a Ferry Terminus.
