@strobbe.bsky.social all water fountains on Bd Anspach do not work, I tried to report it on FMS but I couldn't find the right section 😅 I hope it can be fixed soon :)

Again, I had the same orange pick up on my side from Merode all the way to ULB Solbosch (except for the yellow line where i cut through the small streets).
My average speed was 15/20kmh (not an e-bike), for cars it's all at 50kmh limit. Impressive.

Par contre, les pistes 🚲 actuellement peintes sont souvent mises à mal par des usagers peu scrupuleux
Un coup de peinture n’équivaut pas à 1 infra sécurisée & 1 aménagement définitif reste donc indispensable pour protéger les usagers non motorisés

Thank you to Brussels police for giving the example and almost hitting me today because the driver didn't check if there was a cyclist (me) coming before turning right 🥰
(and for turning the signal only at the last second)

One of the most important things to remember about very smart financial, public heath, transportation, public space, equity, economic development and climate policy like this is that it SAVES AND MAKES PUBLIC MONEY AND IS A SMART INVESTMENT WITH A PROVEN ROI.
Stop seeing it as a cost.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.
Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.
