Moderate bike path along a busy major road. Anything is more pleasant than this. Only good if you can't do otherwise.

Matig fietspad langs een drukke grote baan. Alles is aangenamer dan dit. Enkel goed als je niet anders kan.

A cycling path besides a very busy road which makes it not worth it.

In and around Leuven, you have quite a few ascending roads. This Nieuwe Mechelsesteenweg is one of them. It is a very busy stone road and best avoided as a cyclist, but if you do, you can easily take it on the outside leaf, although it climbs quite a bit at the end. But it's certainly not a bike-friendly environment but that's nowhere in and around Leuven.

In en rond Leuven heb je best redewat oplopende wegen. Deze Nieuwe Mechelsesteenweg is er zo eentje. Het is wel een zeer drukke steenweg en als fietser best te vermijden maar als je hem doet dan kan je hem vlot op het buitenblad nemen alhoewel hij op het einde best aardig oploopt. Maar het is zeker geen fietsvriendelijke omgeving maar dat is nergens in en rond Leuven.
