The 24 hour Velo at Louvain-la-Neuve

The 24 hr velo (24 hour bicycling) is the BIGGEST STUDENT PARTY in Belgium.

The event, which regularly draws upwards of 100,000 students to the city, runs annually from 2pm Wednesday to 2pm Thursday some time in October.

The starting concept was simple, to race for 24 hours on a bike.

Nowadays, competitiors are separated in three categories:
(i) Racers, that race seriously.
(ii) Folk bikes, including decorated bikes and home built contraptions.
(iii) Charity racers raising money for humanitarian causes.

600 policemen come from outside the city to manage law and order during those 24 hours.
A large number of special trains run to Louvain-la-Neuve on that day.
