A day for the tiny things people carry because life becomes easier when string, coins, notes, keys, or a tool are close at hand.
Cycling in Belgium goes far beyond sport: it is a way of life. Commuters ride to work in rain and shine, parents tow children in bakfietsen, and weekend riders in full Lycra clog every country road from Bruges to Liege. The bicycle is how Belgians get to the bakery, how they get to the cafe, and how they prove that they can suffer more than anyone else on earth, all before breakfast.
A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
