The best places to cycle are along the left bank of the Scheldt or through one of the many parks scattered throughout the city. You can also bike through the city streets; though some streets are narrow or otherwise a bit tricky to navigate, the city has made itself more bicycle-friendly by marking designated bike paths in red. De Windroos (Steenplein 1a, Oude Stad. 03/480-9388) rents bikes by the hour (EUR 3) or by the day (EUR 12). Rentals do not include helmets.
