Judging by the number of bike shops, the South of our capital is a popular area with cyclists. Here are some of the best spots to check out.
The South of Brussels, bursting with bike shops
Bike Square
Here, you’ll be welcomed by true cycling enthusiasts, who provide expert advice for choosing your bike and accessories and keeping them in good condition. The repair workshop, available by appointment, will impress you with its speedy turnaround times and the quality of its work. Bike Square also offers an electric bike rental service.
Avenue Alfred Madoux 149, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre (they also have a second branch in Ixelles)
Les Ateliers de la rue Voot
Bicycles are this non-profit's bread and butter. It offers a wide range of services: workshops and training courses in bicycle mechanics, building a bike from scratch, bike hire, organising cycling events in schools, and even teaching people how to ride a bike (the ‘Vélo Solidaire’ programme). Les Ateliers de la rue Voot is a real showcase for cycling, accessible to all!
Rue Voot 91, 1200 Woluwe-Saint-Lambert
Vélo Pipette
If you’re looking for a bike shop on the edge of the Sonian Forest, Vélo Pipette is the place for you! This shop has everything: new classic bikes – city bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes, folding bikes, children’s bikes, etc. – alongside electric bikes and second-hand bikes. The shop also offers repair and maintenance services for bikes of all makes and, as an added bonus, will provide you with a replacement bike free of charge whilst yours is being serviced!
Rue de l'Hospice Communal 47, 1170 Watermael-Boitsfort
L’Atelier du Vélo
As its name would suggest, this workshop does not sell bicycles, choosing instead to focus on repairs and maintenance. As a specialist in urban mobility, l'Atelier du Vélo prioritises safety, reliability and honesty. City bikes, cargo bikes, family bikes and other electric bikes get the attention and care they deserve here, with practical and long-lasting repairs.
Chaussée d’Alsemberg 67, 1060 Saint-Gilles
Roule Forest
The name alone makes it worth a visit! Roule Forest, a genuine neighbourhood bike shop, stocks new bikes and offers a repair service based on attentiveness, serviceability and, of course, expertise. The icing on the cake is the friendly staff!
Rue des Alliés 179, 1190 Forest
