Rent a bike in Bornem or Puurs-Sint-Amands
There is no better way to explore Klein-Brabant than by bike. Rent a bike in Bornem or Puurs-Sint-Amands and cycle along the Scheldt to visit Castle Marnix of Sint-Aldegonde, Pavilion De Notelaer, and Museum De Zilverreiger. Take your bike across the river on ferries in Wintam, Mariekerke, or Sint-Amands. Or turn the other way and visit the forts of Bornem, Liezele, and Breendonk. For heritage, you can head to Castle d’Ursel or the Green Domain Hof van Coolhem.
Rent a bike in Willebroek or Kapelle-op-den-Bos
Between Willebroek, Kapelle-op-den-Bos, and Mechelen lies the Hombeeks Plateau. Cycle through the vast landscape along the winding Zenne from the green Dorpsplein of Hombeek to the Zennegat. Discover the watery areas around Heindonk and relax at the marina of Klein-Willebroek. There you can also take a ferry to cross the Rupel. Along the Brussels-Scheldt Canal, you can cycle all the way to Kapelle-op-den-Bos. If you’d rather go to the Studio 100 Pop-Up Theater, taking a shared bike from the Station in Willebroek is the sustainable choice.
Rent a bike in Mechelen
In 2022, Mechelen was declared the cycling city of Flanders. As a cyclist, you can explore the city in a pleasant and safe way. If you take a shared bike at Mechelen station, you can easily visit the hotspots: Planckendael Animal Park, Kazerne Dossin, Technopolis, Provincial Sports and Recreation Center De Nekker, the tower of the Saint Rumbold’s Cathedral, Museum Hof van Busleyden… It’s also possible to interrupt the bike ride with a snack or a drink in the cozy city center.
Rent a bike in Sint-Katelijne-Waver or Duffel
Staying healthy can be achieved by visiting the vegetable municipality Sint-Katelijne-Waver with BelOrta, Vegetable Museum ‘t Grom, Paprika Nursery Algoet, or the Vegetable Research Station by bike. Cycle along the Nete and the Netekanaal and enjoy nature along the way, including in the Provincial Green Domain Roosendael. In Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver, you will find the absolutely not-to-be-missed historical Institute of the Ursulines with its breathtaking winter garden in Art Nouveau style.

Rent a bike in Berlaar, Putte, or Heist-op-den-Berg
Berlaar is a hidden gem, a rural municipality with wooded nature reserves. Here you can cycle peacefully through the valley of the Grote Nete and the valley of the Gestelbeek and visit the beautiful village center of Gestel. But you can also cycle through the forests of Merode, through the Averegten in Heist-op-den-Berg, or the Kesselse Heide in Nijlen. Would you rather ice skate than cycle? Then you can take a shared bike to the Ice Rink Die Swaene in Heist. Or perhaps the ‘Voddemét’, the Heist flea market on Sunday mornings, is more your style?

Rent a bike in Bonheiden or Boortmeerbeek
Explore picturesque landscapes, historical sights like the park domain Castle Zellaer, and cozy terraces. Cycle along the Leuven-Dijle Canal or, for a more athletic challenge, along the winding and unpaved dike of the Dijle. Enjoy the greenery at the nature reserve Mechels Broek or in Domain Hofstade.

Mechelen cycling rules
Be the good rider
When cycling on your Donkey bike, safety is the top priority. Be alert and respect all cycling rules, including red lights, one-way streets and speed limits.
Bike helmet
Wearing a bike helmet is always a good idea!
Let there be light
As soon as the sun sets, turn on the lights on your rental bike in Waasland. This is to ensure avoiding a fine.
Be aware of where you park
You can park your rental bike almost everywhere in Waasland. However, make sure pedestrians can still walk on the sideway.
Awareness is key
Don’t bike more than two people across, keep pace with the other cyclists, and pull over to answer your phone or check the map.
