Waasland cycling rules

Be the good rider

When cycling on your Donkey bike, safety is the top priority. Be alert and respect all cycling rules, including red lights, one-way streets and speed limits.

Bike helmet

Wearing a bike helmet is always a good idea!

Let there be light

As soon as the sun sets, turn on the lights on your rental bike in Waasland. This is to ensure avoiding a fine.

Be aware of where you park

You can park your rental bike almost everywhere in Waasland. However, make sure pedestrians can still walk on the sideway.

Awareness is key

Don’t bike more than two people across, keep pace with the other cyclists, and pull over to answer your phone or check the map.
