You can also have your steel horse 'repaired to order'.
The bicycle parking under the Sint-Michielsbrug was given a makeover. Your bicycle can now be parked there for longer, and there are now also twelve spaces for outsized bicycles. In addition, there are twenty free lockers as a test, and you can have your bicycle 'repaired to order'.
After freshening up, you can park your bicycle again in the Graslei bicycle parking under the Sint-Michielsbrug. The car park has been given a fresh coat of paint, the signage has been refreshed and the lighting has been improved. In addition, all bicycle racks were replaced by newer models where each bicycle can be anchored in the rack. In addition to 203 spaces for normal bicycles, the car park now also has twelve spaces for oversized bicycles. From now on, your bicycle can also be parked for 72 hours in all bicycle parking areas instead of 48 hours. Finally, the public sanitary facilities were given a makeover.
"Investing in cycling comfort remains important to make it easier for cyclists and also to get even more people on their bikes. The renovation of this bicycle parking and the existing sanitary facilities has been successful. The anchoring for each bicycle model, the places for oversized bicycles and adapted lighting is a big improvement. And we are innovating again. The free lockers and having your bike repaired to order are proof of that."
Two test projects are running in the bicycle parking area up to and including September. For example, there are twenty free lockers with a combination lock in which you can safely leave a helmet or a small bag, for example.
You can also have your steel horse 'repaired to order'. Is your bike broken? Scan the QR code, fill in the online form and leave the key in a safe. The bicycle repair shop will repair your bicycle on site or take it with you and place it back in the same place within three days. You can then pick up the key at Fietspunt Stadshal, pay and then pick up your bike in the Graslei bicycle parking lot.
In addition to places for outsized bicycles, there are free lockers as a test, and you can have a bicycle 'repaired to order'. The test project is currently running in collaboration with Ghent bicycle repairer Platteband, but other bicycle repairers who want to participate can contact De Fietsambassade.
