F209 Denderleeuw–Brussels Cycle Route (proposed)

The F209 is a planned fast cycle link between Denderleeuw and Brussels, part of Belgium’s F-route network. It’s designed for smooth city-to-city riding, great for commuters and weekend spins alike.

Right now, it’s a mix: long stretches of dedicated cycleway and quiet streets, with some short busier bits and a few gaps where the route is still being developed. Surfaces are mostly asphalt, so it rolls nicely when you’re on the built sections. Expect mostly gentle terrain with a couple of small rises.

What to know before you go:

• Some segments are missing, so detours are normal. Check your map and follow local F209 signs where they exist.
• Urban sections closer to Brussels get livelier—lights and visibility help.
• Handy connections to public transport make one-way rides easy, especially from the capital.

As it fills in, this will be a handy, direct corridor from the Dender region into the heart of Brussels.
