Cycling in Kortrijk (Courtrai; Belgium); an impression

markenlei, August 15, 2009a video on YouTube
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.
