Beauty & the Beach — A Bullitt-Powered, Tech‑Free Week Out of Gent.
From Gent, Beauty & the Beach is a self‑guided micro‑adventure aboard an iconic Bullitt cargo bike that trades schedules for slow movement and unhurried decisions. For six nights and seven days you leave the inbox behind, ride under your own power and choose where to stop—camping or simple stays—so you can focus on the smells, sounds and small details of the landscape and the conversations that arise when phones are sidelined.
