Belgium's federal government recently launched Be Cyclist, its first ever action plan to promote cycling. Among the key measures announced are the expansion of allowances for employees who cycle to work, the establishment of new cycle paths and the creation of a central bicycle registry. In terms of infrastructure, the government wants to invest heavily in new cycle routes, including the development of cycle paths along railway lines. This could take the form of self-service bicycle stations near train stations, for example. The action plan is to be fully implemented by the end of 2024.
