Got a child free trip to Bruges in a couple of weeks...just wondered if there was a bike shop there and if the stuff was cheaper over there than here?

Cheers

    I feel so ashamed! :oops:

    It didn't even occur to me to ask about bike shops! Just beer, chocolate, waffles, chips n mayonnaise, moules mariniere. Must work on my priorities.




    when I get back! :wink:

    Cast your demons aside pneumatic,i often think of beer,chocolate and chips before bikes sometimes,i just give myself the odd birching to balance things.

    I always like to think that cycling provides the excuse to over-indulge and over-indulgence provides the reason to cycle.

  • didn't notice any bike shops when briefly there last May, but you can hire a Segway to go on a tour of the town, and that was very tempting...

    Do you think they would rent me a Segway during my Sportive through the delights of Grimbergen, Pelforth, Duvel, Leffe, Delirium Tremens, Kwak and Rochefort 10?? :shock:

    Probably not, methinks.

    I've been following your beer thread with great anticipation, trying to work out which beers to aim for (as a lover of good British ales!)
