Ooh! It's Gent Wevelgem !cycling race today. Quickstep looking good at E3 harelbeke so must be the favourites. I'd like to see Sep Vanmarcke get a win.
@solderpunk Yeah but I'm out of gravel after this bit, so fortunately I don't have to continue immediately ;) (either way I'm !cycling home tomorrow after spending two nights out here, approximately 50km by road).
@arunisaac *some* inhabitants have more than one bike, yes. For instance one for day-to-day commuting or transporting the children to school and another for touring in the weekend. Just over 200,000 inhabitants, about 300,000 bikes here. Over 60% of all trips are by bike. !cycling #cyclecity

Temporary Marjolein(Re)learning cycling is going well so far: did some exercises in the garden with one of the kids' bikes here which made me hopeful: yesterday we walked to the next village where I rented a bike and cycled ~ 3km back (along a quiet road) to where we're staying. This morning - just before the thunderstorm broke - we did a little tour in the neighborhood (only bike paths through forest and fields) for about an hour. I'm starting to feel more in control now and could enjoy the landscape! \•/ #cycling apart from that I'm mostly #relaxing.
