The Sven Nys Cycling Center in Baal, Tremelo, Belgium is reopening this Friday, March 21, 2025, after a renovation. Officials mentioned that people don’t have to pay to enter. There are interactive exhibits that change often, and they said that the goal is to make the centre more interesting for everyone, not just a traditional museum. They want to celebrate the history, present, and future of cycling in a fun way.
How is the revamped Sven Nys cycling centre in Baal changing the game?
The first exhibit at the reopened Sven Nys Cycling Center is “The Youth of Today! Young Racing Violence… Past & Present.” It’s about young cyclists from different times, comparing how things were in the past to how they are now. The exhibit shows stories, old things from cycling, and how young people have changed their way of racing.
Officials mentioned that it shows the good and bad things that young racers go through as they try to become professionals. The reopening of the centre means it’s no longer just a museum. They want to be a place where everyone feels welcome, and they’ll have different exhibits all the time.
According to the officials, the Sven Nys Cycling Center is now a place where companies and groups can hold events, meetings, or classes. They’ve made special rooms for these things, so the centre is more than just a cycling museum.
The famous GP Sven Nys course is still open for people to ride bikes and mountain bikes. The centre will still offer classes for people who want to learn how to ride off-road. They mentioned that to make it easier for people to explore the area, people can now rent bikes from Niels Albert Bike store.
The Sven Nys Cycling Route has been changed and made longer. It used to be 90 kilometres, but now it’s 107 kilometres. Sven Nys, who loves cycling in the area, says that Hageland is a great place to ride.
Since January 2025, he’s also been running the café on the first floor of the centre. Sven mentioned that the café is a place where people can relax, eat, and talk about cycling. This makes the centre a place for sports and also a place where people can connect and celebrate cycling. It opened 9 years ago as a place for people who love blank”>cycling, but it closed in November 2024 to be updated.
You cycle through nature, between the orchards, over short and steep slopes that follow each other very quickly and where something new lurks behind every bend. It never becomes monotonous in this region. Even after 18 years of professional cycling, I still can’t get enough of this region.
says Sven Nys.

So, let me get this straight: they turned a cycling museum into a hip hangout spot complete with a café? 🚴♂️ Next thing you know, they’ll be serving espressos with a side of bike lessons! Classic Belgium—because who doesn’t want to pedal through history while sipping a latte? 😂

Oh, a “newly renovated” cycling centre! Because who wouldn’t want to ride 107 km just to hear about how “young racing violence” has evolved? 🤔 Sounds like a perfect pit stop for those seeking both exercise and an existential crisis! 🚴♂️💨
