Renting bikes in Europe/Belgium

[bikefam]

We will be going to Europe next Month (May 07) to visit our son in Belgium.  We aren't going to tour there, but would like to do numerous day rides.  Can anyone tell us about renting bikes there vs. taking our own?  We will be mostly staying near Kortrijk/Izegem, but will be taking the train on day trips to visit the rest of the country.  Do you know of a place to rent decent bikes?  Do we need to reserve them ahead of time?  What kind of bikes can we expect?  Thanks for any information.
