Portraits of Cyclists - Isabel: “In Belgium, when I cycle from one town to another, I just follow the canal”

"I'm from Ghent in Belgium. I'm in Copenhagen for a couple of days to visit the city.

I'm used to cycling in my own city but in Ghent we don't have these completely separated lanes. The tram in Ghent makes cycling in the city a bit more complicated, especially when it rains.

In Belgium, I cycle often from Ghent to my parents' town. It's 35 km away from Ghent but I just have to follow the canal. Sometimes, on this track, I run into my friends who are heading back to their hometown, too, and we cycle together."
