Ghent

Having got to Ghent, the first thing I did was drive the velomobile into the tram lines!
I decided to swop the velomobile for an ICE recumbent trike - made in Cornwall (yes, we still actually make something useful in Britain these days, it hasn't been outsourced to China). It will take a few days to arrive, so I arrange to have it delivered to Antwerp, and buy a cheap bike to travel on in the meantime.
Whilst in Ghent I interviewed the Low Impact Man (Stephen Vroman). He decided to lower his ecological footprint as much as he could, just for a year, and at the end of it he was so much healthier and happier he decided to continue living in this way. The message is clear - living an eco-friendly lifestyle is not a sacrifice, but a positive benefit
