Road cycling

This open place in the historical center of Ghent (Gent) has many restaurants and terraces to enjoy a meal or a drink. You have a great view of the sint Nicholas church and it gives you a good feel of the lively atmosphere of Ghent. It is better suited for bike touring though because the cobbles and tramrails will give you a hard time on your 23mm road tires.
