The outward journey follows the "velostrade" along the Leuven-Zaventem railway line and on to Brussels centre.
There are still very large gaps in the velostrade route, mainly between Winksele and Erps-Kwerps.
In and around the airport it is very busy on the numerous access roads and therefore less pleasant to cycle.
It is about 20 km by bike to get completely around the airport complex and the associated company buildings.
When approaching the airport from the east, the planes can see you landing at very low altitude.
