Make your choice and combine your Biking BOX-cycling trip with a Biking BAR-arrangement
Flanders Fields -
- 45km
- Guided or self-guided cycling, tasting before, during and afterwards, enjoy a total, customized cycling experience
What kind of cycling & group-arrangements are possible if you come just for 1 day cycling? With special focus on local food & drinking? Why should you prefer a guided tour in stead of 'self-guided' cycling? How about pricing? Read here all about it!
First of all: a guided tour is always just a bit more an experience than cycling on your own, especially in a region with so much history and story-telling. With our cycling guide you get touching stories, interesting info and details, a customized tour above all.
Still a self-guided tour is possible on our rental bicycles (e-bike, road bike or classic bicycle). Ask all information to our staff or even better: mail us before so we can give you some interesting spots according to your personal interest.. All tarifs can be found when looking on a detailed guided program + on the page with rental bicycle information. But there is more: the Biking Box is also a ‘Biking Bar’, so before or afterwards, you have more than a good reason to stay just a bit longer with us! Read all about this down below.
3 formulas with food & drinks included!
- Bike & picnic: electric cargo bike for €50 plus €19 p.p. for the picnic (minimum 4 people)
2. Bike & Après bike: a choice of +50 beers and many more
3. Bike & Barbecue: from at least 8 people BBQ all you can eat for €35 p.p. or ‘medium formula’ at €26 p.p.
1)Bike & Picnic
Possibly with the electric picnic cargo bike on the road. An excellent picnic for the road with mainly regional delicacies and fresh drinks in the cool box is loaded into the cargo bike. You choose the (junction) route indicating where the most idyllic picnic spots are located. You also reserve the extra bicycles in advance for those who are still riding. Possible for at least 4 to max. 8 people.
Also possible is “the Covered Table with bicycle guide in a tailor-made arrangement”. Themes can be chosen from the First World War, the broader complete Westhoek history since Celts and Romans, ‘Cycling stories’ with a nod to Ghent-Wevelgem and of course the culinary Westhoek with a focus on beer and wine culture… A fascinating journey of discovery in which the interesting facts pile up and you return both physically and mentally satisfied. Here the picnic is set up for the group en route. At least 8 people, max. 18 people. The ideal group experience! Set Table for €19 p.p.
2) Bike & Après bike
Thirsty! Anyone who shows mild dehydration after a bike ride in Flanders Fields will get their money’s worth in the Biking Bar. A wide range of up to 50 beers, tasty (cool) wines or soft drinks is on the menu here. On draught? Or still choose that rich tasting Trappist beer… Enjoy at the bar inside or in our beautiful terrace garden.
3) Bike & BBQ all you can eat
Hungry! After cycling you don’t just want to quench your thirst, but your stomach is growling. A freshly prepared delicious snack suitable for cyclists: from croque monsieur to BBQ (from 8 people) is possible, especially on summer days when the Biking Box garden terrace is a green oasis of peace, away from the city bustle near the Menin Gate, where you can see the meat being barbecued on site. Or you might enjoy preparing the meat by yourself. Two options: “Eat as much as you can” (€35) or “Medium Formula” (€26). With barbecued potatoes, vegetables and an extensive range of appetizers or snacks. Both formulas can also already be included with an aperitif (+ €7)
All reservations can be made on +32(477)592382 or e-mail at least 3 days in advance to info@bikingbox.be

Part 1: 45KM Location: Welke afstand kiezen?
In regel kiezen Biking Box-fietsers voor tochten tussen de 35 à 60 km. Afhankelijk van het type fiets (klassieke 21-versnellingenfiets, E-bike of racefiets?) zal de af te leggen afstand vermoedelijk wat toenemen. Maar ook de stopplaatsen onderweg, de bezienswaardigheden, al of niet met ‘museum-stop’ of iets uitgebreidere lunch- en drinkstop, bepalen de tijdsduur en dus ook de afstand van de tocht.
Onze top-E-bikes met Bosch-batterijen hebben intussen een bereik dat vlotjes de 80 of zelfs 100 km benadert zonder dat je moet heropladen. Let wel: de manier waarop je van de elektrische ondersteuning gebruik maakt, veel of weinig wind, bergop of vlak, heeft natuurlijk een impact op de maximaal af te leggen afstand alvorens de batterij moet heropgeladen worden.
Gemiddeld leggen onze fietsers 45 km af als ze een dagtocht vanuit Ieper ondernemen.
