The Province of East Flanders aims to encourage everyone to choose the bicycle more often, especially for short trips. The provincial government therefore supports local authorities in the construction of new cycling infrastructure, ensuring cyclists can reach their destination safely and comfortably. This was announced by Deputy Kurt Moens, responsible for Mobility.
