Brabantse Pijl Cycling Route in Bertem

Description

​Vlaams-Brabant heeft heel wat wielerhelden, zoals Eddy Merckx, Sven Nys of Remco Evenepoel, voortgebracht. Zij werden groot op Vlaams-Brabantse bodem en zorgden er voor dat deze regio de koers in haar hart draagt. Bovendien komen steeds meer fietsers de provincie met hun race- of gravelfiets verkennen. ​
​Om de beleving langs de sportieve fietsroutes te verhogen, laat Toerisme Vlaams-Brabant via het project ‘Jong Koersgeweld’ 10 street art kunstwerken aanbrengen.

Een dynamisch peloton van wielerhelden, met een centrale vrouwelijke renner, scheurt met passie langs de muur op de Brabantse Pijl Cycling Route in Bertem. De achtergrond toont subtiel de overgang van Vlaamse kasseiklassiekers naar Waalse klimkoersen, waarmee het ontwerp verweven wordt met de lokale wielerhistorie.

Flemish Brabant has produced many cycling heroes, such as Eddy Merckx, Sven Nys or Remco Evenepoel. They grew up on Flemish Brabant soil and ensured that this region carries cycling in its heart. Moreover, more and more cyclists are exploring the province with their racing or gravel bikes. ​

​To enhance the experience along the sporty cycling routes, Toerisme Vlaams-Brabant is having 10 street art works installed through the project ‘Jong Koersgeweld’.

A dynamic peloton of cycling heroes, with a central female rider, tears passionately along the wall on the Brabantse Pijl Cycling Route in Bertem. The background subtly shows the transition from Flemish cobblestone classics to Walloon climbing races, with which the design is interwoven with local cycling history.

Just after the 1st peak of corona I bought a motorcycle and started with photography again after years and I discovered the passion for capturing the world around me through the lens of my camera. I hope to spot a lot of beautiful, new places and especially to be able to place the images here on StreetArtCities and on flickr before they disappear back into the mists of time. Graffiti is a very ephemeral art form that often only survives in photographs like us Hunters capture everywhere.
