Ready to jump on your bike? Super! Bike Experience has put together a guide with all the handy tips you need to make the switch.
What's the guide all about?
The printed guide "Bike Experience" is available for free at the Bike Experience Afterworks and includes:
I prepare for:
- Which kind of bike for which ride?
- How do I choose between an electric bike, a folding bike, a city bike, a second-hand bike or a new bike?
- What equipment is mandatory or optional for your bike?
- How to make sure your bike will not be stolen?
- How should you maintain your bike? Which cycling routes are there in Brussels?
- How to combine cycling with public transport?
I cycle in the city:
- What attitude should I adopt?
- What are the basic rules of the road?
- What are the main manoeuvres to watch out for (roundabouts, turning left,priority)?
- What should you do in case of an accident?
- What does the current legislation say about bicycle allowances?
They talk about it... with a smile ;)

"I feel like I can handle office stress better. And the icing on the cake is that my sports watch tells me that this ride eats a few thousand calories. That's another motivation!
