Brussels Express: Bike Messengers

[Dickie]

Came across this 20 minute film and was immediately drawn in… found the use of phrases such as “beltway”, “pentagon”, and “multiple municipalities” incredibly close to home. We really don’t have it so bad!

This is great and so true! I lived and biked in Brussels for 5 years, back in what was probably the 1% years. There are actually a lot of beautiful places around Brussels for recreational cycling, but you definitely had to choose your route on the street.

Whenever I see “difficult crossing” on a bike map here, I think back to this traffic circle in Brussels: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rond-point+Montgomery,+St-Pieters-Woluwe,+Belgium&hl=en&ll=50.837282,4.407738&spn=0.00227,0.005729&sll=37.735969,-79.420166&sspn=5.820237,11.733398&oq=rond+point+montgomer&hq=Rond-point&hnear=Eurostars+Montgomery,+Avenue+de+Tervueren+134,+Woluwe-Saint-Pierre+1150+St-Pieters-Woluwe,+Bruxelles,+Belgium&t=h&fll=50.836815,4.408822&fspn=0.00227,0.005729&z=18

We definitely have it very good here in Arlington.
