Cycling in Ostend
Cycling in Ostend. It is a popular seaside activity. More and more tenants are taking their bicycles with them on holiday by the sea. Others rent a bicycle from one of the many rental companies of bicycles and go-karts.
Cycling in Ostend
When we cycle on the sea wall in Ostend we feel even more at home. With the wind in our backs or seeking pleasure in fighting the force of the wind. It is both wonderful. The centre of Ostend is only an 8-minute bike ride away the apartment en the Loft. Do we want to cycle on to Wenduine and De Haan? Then we take the free ferry in the port of Oostende. This sails very regularly. Our bicycles are also transported for free. We cycle to the southwest, to Middelkerke? Then we can do this completely on the seawall. With a view of the sea and safely away from the street. Delicious!
Secure and covered bicycle shed
We offer our guests a good and safe place to park their bike. This way they are protected from bike thieves. In the Apartment you can park your bikes in your own covered garage put away. Behind or in front of your car there is still room for your two-wheelers. You drive into the garage at street level. You do not have to take a lift. Garage locked, and they are safe. In the Loft you have space in one of the bicycle sheds in the basement. Only bicycles of owners and tenants of the apartments are stored here. Drive in from the back immediately at the right level. Be sure to lock your bicycles, because other owners or tenants also come into this space.
Bicycle rides by the sea
You can find bike rides by the sea just as easily as you find walks. The Green Ribbon is definitely worth it. This green belt connects the green areas around Ostend. Ostend has mapped out a bike ride of 35 kilometers through the most beautiful green areas around the city by the sea. The poems by Peter Verhelst are fun along the way. The information boards along the route are useful. You can find more bike rides and bike maps via the Westoer online store. Easily order your bike maps there before you come to the sea. Or map out your own route with the Westoer Bike Route Planner
Rent a bicycle or go-kart
You don't have to bring your own bikes to the sea. There are a few bike rental shops near the Apartment and the Loft. Indeed, the well-known rental shops of go-karts for children also rent (electric) bikes. You will find two rental shops in the immediate vicinity of the Apartment and the Loft. You can also go there to have your own bike repaired. Or why not, just ask them to pump up your tires. Kriscross at the Koninginnegalerij (Zeedijk 92) This landlord offers you nice and well-maintained carts and bicycles. Cheap, according to the many reviews. But we also read that the kindness is sometimes lacking. Maya rental on the square in Mariakerke (Zeedijk 153) This very friendly landlord helps you quickly and easily with a bicycle. Do you have problems with your own bike? Then he will repair your bike quickly and cheaply. On the seawall in the center of Ostend you still have 3 sympathetic rental bicycles and go-karts: - NICO Fun on Wheels: Albert I-promenade 44, 8400 Ostend - Candy rental at the harbor: Albert I promenade 4, 8400 Ostend - Gino Carts at the Casino of Ostend: Frère- Orbanstraat 46, 8400 Ostend
