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 seawall in Ostend, we feel even more at home. With the wind at our backs or seeking pleasure in fighting against the force of the wind. It's both delicious. The center of Ostend is only an 8-minute bike ride away the apartment en the Loft. Do we want to continue cycling to Wenduine and De Haan? Then we take the free ferry in the port of Ostend. This sails very regularly. Our bicycles are also transferred free of charge. 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 bicycle. This way they are protected against bicycle thieves. In the Apartment you can put your bicycles in your own covered garage put away. There is still room for your two-wheelers behind or in front of your car. You enter the garage at street level. You don't have to take an elevator. Garage locked, and they're safe. In the Loft you have room in one of the bicycle sheds in the basement. Only bicycles of owners and tenants of the apartments are parked here. Enter from the back immediately on the right level. Be sure to secure your bicycles, because other owners or tenants will also be in this space.
Bicycle rides by the sea
Bicycle tours by the sea are just as easy to find as you find walks. The Green Ribbon is definitely worth it. This green belt connects the green areas around Ostend. Ostend mapped out a 35-kilometre bike ride through the most beautiful green areas around the city by the sea. Nice on the way are the poems of Peter Verhelst. The information boards along the route are useful. More cycling tours and cycling maps can be found in the Westoer online store. Order your cycling maps easily before you come to the sea. Or map out your own route with Westoer's cycle route planner
Rent a bicycle or go-kart
You do not have to bring your own bicycles to the sea. There are a few bicycle rental companies near the Apartment and the Loft. Indeed, the well-known renters of go-karts for children also rent out (electric) bicycles. You will find two landlords in the immediate vicinity of the Apartment and the Loft. You can also go there to have your own bicycle 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
