Funny how Belgian television sounds like an insult, cf Mr Adams, but Belgian 
beer is definitely not.  Maybe there's a causative link.  The really good thing 
about electric bikes is that you can decide, to a greater or lesser degree, how 
tired you will be at the end of the day.  Doesn't do much for the state of your 
perineum, sadly.

Good point! We'll be able to watch television!
Actually, there's a better one-word answer: Beer.

There's a one word answer to that.  Electricity.

Yes, we've been warned about that. But we'll probably be too tired to
do much by the time we get there :-)

Or 'Belgicum' which is a fine cross-sample of Vanfleteren's work in 
general. 'Charleroi' is also great.

It will be so crowded you won't see much of it. Bruges is best of season.

On your Merckx, get set, go!!

Try to get a copy of Flandrien by Stephan Vanfleteren before you go. For 
inspiration.

https://www.stephanvanfleteren.com/flandrien

I bought a copy when it first came out, at the exhibition in London. Rare as 
hen’s teeth now, but brilliant.
