Cyclists

Bar Gidon is located on the market square in Geraardsbergen, next to the Vesten and close to the famous Muur, where cycling history is written. The cycling café bar is owned by ex-professional Frederic Penne who was active in cycling for 20 years, of which 5 years as a prof. His girlfriend, Els Ritserveldt is the granddaughter of Ophasseltse cycling legend Albert Ritserveldt who won in 1939 Liège-Bastogne-Liege.

The bar breathes pure race and is meticulously decorated, with an eye for the smallest details.

Logos of famous cycling teams are on the bar stools, bicycle wheels are incorporated into tables, the names of winners of the Tour of Flanders are on the chairs and the ceiling is covered with cycling jerseys of known and lesser-known riders, but each with their own story.

On the heated terrace you can enjoy winter and summer the view of the market square of Geraardsbergen.

Since 2018, Bar Gidon also houses of the official fan club of Remco EVENEPOEL.

Join him and enjoy the special beers or challenge him to a sprint challenge uphill on the cobblestones of the Muur!
