Brussels Mobility and its partner associations are gathering in the “Bike for Brussels Village” from March 22 to 24, located right at the entrance of the Bike Brussels fair. They will inform you about projects and services to help you put more cycling in your daily life. Each one has its own particularities with a common goal: to make cycling accessible to everyone in order to have more everyday cyclists in the Brussels region. This is the perfect opportunity to come and exchange with them, get advice and keep you informed of their new projects and initiatives.
