Ewoud cycles up to 210 km a week between home and work, and he knows the dangers on the road: “Rather a detour than an accident”

Up to 210 kilometers a week, Ewoud Beirlant (43) cycles from his home in Herselt to his office in Mol and back. There is a fast route, along cycle paths next to busy stone roads, but he would rather avoid it. “You also have driveways of houses, side roads, car parks, gas stations and traffic lights at intersections that are not conflict -free.” But the heaviest consequences – a broken spine – he sustained in a collision with … another cyclist.
