[Rimgt2] For purchases in the city, the bicycle offers numerous advantages: speed, user-friendliness, easy to park. Bicycle racks were placed by the City of Brussels to allow the cyclists to attach their bicycle more safely. Furthermore, the use of the bicycle is better for the environment and the climate.

Action

[Rimgt3] This operation I shop by cycle started in the city center of Brussels in 2007. It extended to the European district in 2007 and to Laeken in 2008.

The cyclists are invited to make their purchases at one of the participating shopkeepers (these are identified by a sticker on their shop window and the painted logo on the road). The shopkeeper puts a stamp on the participation card. When this card is full, the cyclist can put it down in the available urn in the participating shops. Every cyclist who filled in at least 2 compartments can bring in his card and participate. During the operation, smaller and incentive presents are also distributed.

All the winners are invited to the prize-giving (purchase vouchers at bike dealers), in the presence of the municipal town councillors who support the action. The friendliest shopkeepers are also rewarded.
