Cycling on the sidewalk/pavement fines in belgium/netherlands So, when cycling there is one narrow, but busy road I always 'evade' parked cars by cycling a bit on the sidewalk. I am aware this is entirely illegal, however compared to the alternative (stopping every 30 seconds for the 5 minutes it takes me to get to the end or jumping in front of cars which by law should break and drive behind me... but they are going a bit too fast for that) it is a risk I am always taking. I do wonder however, how badly would I be fined for this if caught?

PS. The road in question is in Belgium, so for all practical purposes I only care about the Belgium fine, but as I am Dutch I tend to do this to a lesser extend (the Dutch traffic situation is far better) in the Netherlands as well so would love to know both fines.
Fines in the Netherlands for the two most instances of wrong "place on the road" most likely to apply, are at the moment &euro; 55,- although there's always article 5, which says you shouldn't endanger others on the road.

I couldn't find any definitive data on Belgium.
