Well, apparently this year it's a combination of many things:
- We have an extremely good summer so a lot of people get on their bikes.
- Due to the crisis there are more commuter cyclists.
- Quite a few accidents happened with huge agricultural vehicles that are not suited for our narrow roads.
- 15% didn't go on holiday this summer so a lot more traffic than normal.
- A lot more Belgians have cycling now as their workout.
