People cycle more in Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium) than in Wallonia (the French speaking part). And it shows! In the town of Kortrijk in the South of Belgium (province of West-Flanders) people of all ages use their bikes for every day activities. And they do so in great numbers, even though there are no real cycling facilities like separate bicycle paths. At least you don’t see those in the center of this lovely old town.

Super!!!!
Kortrijk is the town where a young Greg Lemond (world champion cyclist) lived when he first came to Belgium in 1981.Ā
Well, they were only rich for a short time (Kort Rijk), so no wonder that there's no cycling infrastructure…!
