When you don't have much room at home to park a bike, yet enjoy going for a ride: why not rent one? Here at Brusselslife, we can offer two options:
First of all, try Pro Velo. You can rent all sorts of bikes and accessories for periods ranging from one hour to four weeks: Dutch-style bikes, children's pushbikes, extra wheels, child seats, trailers for kids. These rentals are great for your leisure pursuits. However, stick to two wheels when using a bike as a mode of transport, for example as an alternative to the car or to complement public transport. The new Villo system set-up by the Brussels City authorities is perfect for such cases. Via a subscription or credit card, you can use one of the 250 bikes parked at 23 terminals, 24/7 - and there's only about 300 metres between each terminal! The advantage is that you can pick-up the bike at one terminal and leave it at another... This really practical system would be even better if it covered all 19 communes.
