The Fietsbieb will celebrate five years on 18 October. Many Tervurenaars have donated their children’s outgrown bikes to support the initiative. The next Fietsbieb opening is Saturday 18 October, from 10:00 to 12:00.
Tervuren’s child bike library first opened in October 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. For €20 a year, families can borrow a checked, second-hand children’s bike, and exchange it as their children grow.
The remaining 2025 opening dates are 18 October (fifth anniversary), 15 November, and **20 December**. Run entirely by volunteers, the Fietsbiebs source, refurbish, and manage bicycles while supporting sustainable mobility in the community.
Fietsbieb operates from a shed at School van Tervurendreef, next to the town’s Speelbieb toy lending library. Open Wednesdays 14:00–16:00 and Saturdays 10:00–12:00, the Speelbieb lends puzzles, games, outdoor toys, and baby equipment for children up to 12 years old.
“From a social perspective, this is a fantastic concept,” said Lut Kint, former alderwoman for social affairs.
