I have recently bought a [cheap fixie from Decathlon](https://www.decathlon.be/fr/p/velo-ville-single-speed-500/%5F/R-p-306292?ref=multitasked.net) for 200€. This thing is super light and silent, a pleasure to ride.

So, lately, I have been doing evening rides, discovering some places in Brussels.

Tonight, I went to Anderlecht and I discovered the [Garden City of Moortebeek](https://monument.heritage.brussels/fr/buildings/38243?ref=multitasked.net) which is very charming. It is quite similar in spirit to the [garden cities of Boitsfort](https://visit.brussels/en/place/The-Gardens-Cities-of-Le-Logis-and-Floreal?ref=multitasked.net)

In the middle of the ride, I went through the neighboorhood of the Slaughterhouses of Anderlecht, which are clearly showing signs of improvements lately, with interesting new buildings.

On the trip back, I discovered nice picnic places on a closed bridge on top of the canal, at the Quai de Biestebrook, and just next to that, the awesome open air swimming pool called [FLOW](https://www.flow.brussels/fr?ref=multitasked.net)

I’ll definitely book a time to take a swim there this summer.

But it’s not over. Very close to all this, there is also the relatively new [Urban Padel Club of Brussels](https://www.urbanpadelbrussels.com/?ref=multitasked.net), stuck between the canal, new buildings and some old industrial buildings. The atmosphere was super nice.

I’ll also want to give a try to that soon. I’ve been playing squash for years, and some tennis too. This seems like a nice variation on these formulas.

Conclusion: biking is cool. Brussels is cool.

Here are all my pictures for tonight, for those interested.
