Geen probleem, dan pak ik wel de elektrische step en rij ik op het voetpad.

Technically true, but the fact that the sign is there because there is street parking *on both sides* really irks me. Even then, the road seems wide enough to allow a car to safely cross a bicycle from the opposite side, the sign seems to be put up with only cars in mind.
Technically, this sign HAS to be accompanied by an „except cyclists“ sign for a road with that width.

Wait, you mean traffic signs and road markings are also applicable for cyclists? /s
It’s horrific to see how many times cyclists ignore these signs and the shark teeth markings on the road.

Is het technisch gezien niet mogelijk om met de fiets aan hand via het voetpad de weg in te slaan?
Om vervolgens de fiets terug op te stappen en zo het verbodsbord te omzeilen?
..WC gedachten..

Wel dwaas dat er geen „uitgezonderd fietsers“ bord naast hangt. De weg lijkt meer dan breed genoeg om veilig het tegemoetkomend verkeer te passeren

Oplossing: verwijder de parkeerplaatsen aan één kant en plaats een fietspad. Iedereen gelukkig.

Based on your picture. I think that Audi is parked illegally as well.

Ofc there is street parking on both sides…

Looool look at how wide this street is. Thats one heck of a car-centered post. Give cyclists a break ffs
I’m a cyclist myself, but the blatant privilege some display is baffling. From speed pedelecs acting as the own the fietssnelwegen, barely touching shoulders when passing me, to the bakfietsen blocking sidewalks.
When I lived in the Rue Haute/Hoogstraat in Brussels, wich is a one way street (also for cyclists) barely wide enough for the myriad of busses and ambulances, many cyclist would ride in the opposite direction anyway and yell and scold at the cars and busses when (obviously) there wasn’t enough room to pass them. All of them too privileged to take the parallel street 50 m further.

With roads like that, even if you have to follow what’s on the pole, sometimes they don’t make sense or the pole is wrong. I checked on OSM (onewaybicycle:yes) and the pole matches the rules in Boom. You can still send a message to your council to propose a two-way for bicycles.

As a car driver and not a cyclist at all: even though you are technically not allowed there, i will have no issue folding my mirrors and giving you a pass, because everyone understands in thos case it is not a big deal.

Shot through the street and you’re to blame. Darling, you give cyclists a bad name 🎸

I tend to avoid riding in the opposite direction of cars, even when there’s an indication that it’s allowed. In my early days of commuting by bike, a car wasn’t paying that much attention to the road („because it’s a one-way street anyways“), so I had to quickly evade him by turning to the sidewalk. I wasn’t quick enough to get out of my clipless pedals, which resulted in me falling.
Anywho, this seems to be a good place to drop a rant about something I saw fellow cyclists do this morning, so here goes :
In a village center (30 km/h), there were 2 cyclists in front of me cycling next to each other, riding at 20-25 km/h. The left person was in full cyclotourist outfit (just like me) and either on a mountain bike or a pedelec, the right person in regular clothes and on a regular bike. They come up to a tunnel underneath the train tracks, where there’s a bike lane separated from the main road, and the speed limit increases to 50 km/h. Mr. pedelec (I assume) decides to NOT ride in front or behind the other person, but instead **on the road, while maintaining the same slow speed!** I’ve seen my share of dangerous/stupid things that cyclists do, but damn. I know pedelecs are allowed to ride on roads with a 50 km/h speed limit, but then they should ride at a speed that’s closer to 50, not 20!

I mean, I can’t blame any cyclist that does pass through here. What does it matter? You have to move your steering wheel slightly to the right? The horror

jesus christ. my father would say 2 trucks would be able to pass in this street.
cyclists are not allowed but definitely should be… belgium should really invest into being more bike friendly.
its healthy, better for the environment, better against congestion and cheap in the end.
the saying is „if you build it, they will come“. see cycle infratsructure in denmark, the netherlands or even new york. its massively adopted.

This kind of setup gives cars a bad name ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, cyclists, you said… ?

Where is it?
