Cycling

Revered as a cycling haven, Belgium’s passion for this sport transcends mere recreation – it’s deeply ingrained in the national culture. The country’s undulating landscapes and cobbled roads serve as the backdrop for prestigious races like the Tour of Flanders and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where cyclists tackle challenging routes amid scenic vistas. Belgium’s cycling history is studded with legendary figures like Eddy Merckx, the “Cannibal,” whose dominance has left an indelible mark on the sport. The fervor for cycling extends beyond professionals, with cycling infrastructure, events, and a fervent fan base making Belgium a haven for both enthusiasts and elite athletes alike. Here are some articles on Belgian cycling, with some of my own cycling routes.
