For my next vacation, I may switch my transportation mode from gravel bike-packing to train & #Brompton.

I did a test ride of the #PLine 2026 and the #TLine (I shouldn’t do it :-). Both was 4 speed, what isn't ideal for #brussels hills. I’m considering the 12 speed.

Riding the T Line is very smooth, but extremely expensive. The P Line may be a good compromise.

Returning home on many nice small roads, without car and very narrow bike paths. I love Europe for this! #Londerzeel #Meise ⁩#Merchtem

More photos, videos, and the itinerary are available on my #Strava:

Nice extended ride during a cloudy Sunday, so the temperature was very agreeable compared to the previous days. I explored the northwest of Brussels: #Ternat #Aalst #Dendermondemme #Temse

It’s a train what for from next… 😉

My second #criticalmass in #Brussels [5/5]

At the end of the ride, a dance event was taking place at Bodies In Space BIS. The perfect way to end the day!

My second #criticalmass in #Brussels [1/5]

A lot of participants—the police estimate 3,850 people!!! Let’s assume a minimum of 4,000 for the organizers 😉

It was so crowded that I couldn't find the people I had met last time. The temperature was warm, but there was some wind, so it wasn’t too bad.

3 years ago, I did my “Petit Tour de France”.

Now, I have the opportunity to travel again for a long period on my bicycle.

This time will be more autonomous, but still in minimalist mode. Based on the heatwave, I’m thinking of starting in Northern Europe, but nothing is decided yet.

Any advice will be welcome. It will be my first fully autonomous adventure.

[3/3] Exploring west countryside of Brussels
113 km - 1034 m

Part of the ride was along a canal with little shade in Geraardsbergen. Stopping at Gaasbeek to enjoy the shade — yes, it was too hot 🥵

There is my Strava activity for map and more photos
