Last Sunday, we participated at the Bike Parade in Kortrijk. This 2-yearly event during the Sinksenfeesten promotes the use of bikes in the city. This years theme was cargo bikes. By lack of time to prepare our bikes in an original way, we took our 2 sons Mart and Gust as our most important accessoires. :)
On the way to the Parade a lot of people showed interest in our bike, we experienced some silent recognition from our resent passage in the newspaper and now and then some less silent recognition: hey, those are the ones from the newspaper!
At 15:30 we departed starting on the Grote Markt in Kortrijk. There was a nice tour through the center of Kortrijk and about an hour and a half later, we arrived again at the market. We
were welcomed by hundreds of people. The men (and women) of W-evilghem fixed and CargoVélo took the best cargo with them: some crates of Bockor beer :-)
Near 6 pm the weather changed and became colder and windy so we took off to home.
Result at the end of the day: 51,26km!
