Day 4 of my travels on cargo bike around Belgium in Flanders region. I love it here. Cycling is really woven into life. Such a breath of fresh air compared to what I'm used to in the UK.
Would be great to hear others personal experiences of riding round Belgium.
On a very loose solo trip with nothing booked in advance. Actively searching for travel buddies and fellow cyclists to hang with. Any tips welcome too, please share!
Arrived in Ghent last night, plotted in this area for a couple days for the annual street festival, Gentse Feesten. It's a big deal here and a really good time.

28th-31st – East from Ghent towards Antwerp or Brussels
1-3 Aug – Reggae Geel festival. 2 day reggae and dub festival
4 Aug-10 Aug – I start making my way North to the Netherlands on a yet undecided loop up to Amsterdam back down to the Hook Of Holland to get ferry back home to normal life in London
Happy cycling and maybe see you on the road!

Hey, quick question considering I’m heading that way next month, how are the bike paths, I’ve always been told they aren’t very good cycle infrastructure there compared to Netherlands.
Are they just like the side of the road or seperate off road bike paths through the countryside? Basically do they have intercity cycle highways?
