That's why it's more useful to buy an expensive lock instead of an expensive bike.<br /><br />Headlights and reflectors are mandatory. The police checks this and you get a fine if your bike does not have a light and reflectors.Drieshttp://leveninleuven.be/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-70168907874073875322009-05-17T12:11:00.000-04:002009-05-17T12:11:00.000-04:00Raino: It's true!

There's a lot of talk about the high bicycle theft rate. <br /><br />A basic strategy to avoid theft seems to be to have a crappy looking bike.<br /><br />This may explain the lack of cycles with banana seats and monkey bars.David Scrimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714106408606785482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-42284191673121808502009-05-16T11:43:00.000-04:002009-05-16T11:43:00.000-04:00what!? not one banana seat?what!? not one banana seat?rainohttp://momofboxer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-72571878388525352722009-05-16T09:33:00.000-04:002009-05-16T09:33:00.000-04:00Hi Chloe,

I probably won't be leaving my comments on your "My Flanders" section, because it's hard enough just updating my blog from here in Leuven.<br /><br />By the way, if you want your site to be more useful to people, you might make it easier to find:<br /><br /> - places that rent wheelchairs;<br /> - places that rent bicycles;<br /> - instructions on how to use the local buses; and<br /> - links to independent reviews for restaurants and hotels that cover more than the few you cover and are allowed to say negative things about the places.David Scrimshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714106408606785482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15726646.post-72187148298171134762009-05-14T11:20:00.000-04:002009-05-14T11:20:00.000-04:00Hi David, I loved reading your entry about Leuven....Hi David, I loved reading your entry about Leuven. I actually work for Tourism Flanders and Leuven is one of the beautiful cities I have the pleasure of promoting. If you want, you can leave your comments of Leuven on the My Flanders section of our website www.visitflanders.co.uk. <br />All the best, ChloeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
