Am plotting a route for my festive 500. The shortest route is through Brussels. I'm wondering if anyone here has recommendations for a good route to get from the North of Brussels to the South without dying?

My only sojourn into Brussels was a 2km trip from Eurostar to our hotel, and a return the following week. We found the roads so daunting that we pushed our bikes the whole way.
-
In total contrast we rode into the centre from Leuven on well-designated cycle lanes (pretty much as we'd found around the whole of Belgium) IIRC there are some online cycling maps for Brussels which would probably answer your question
-
Google makes will display bike lanes, click layers then more. There seems to be an extensive network.

Ivo's your man for that.

I've had a few positive suggestions from Twitter. My previous experience of cycling in Brussels was more near misses in 4km, than in a year of Dutch cycling, hence wanting some advice.
Thanks all

Not a recommendation, but this might be a useful resource: https://www.fietsroute.org/cycle-node-planner (https://www.fietsroute.org/cycle-node-planner)

Yes, I'm fairly sure the best way to cross Brussels is by train. Not very helpful, I know.
