After checking with many other references sources and (printed and online) enclyclopedia, I've updated the text as the older definition was quite biased by the historical meaning, the county of Flanders, and did not properly distinguish all actual meanings, and as that historical bias did not seem appropriate anymore in a contemporary, and moreover, internet-based encyclopedia as Wikipedia.

Hi Rudy. I have reverted your edits. I think it is far better to keep the disambiguation page as small and synthetic as possible. More detailed information could be inserted into the Flanders article. --Edcolins 21:25, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

If there is a Flanders (county) page (I think that the text is in the main Flanders as well) it needs a link here. --Nk 14:48, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "Category:Cycle types" should not be here

"Category:Cycle types" should not be here. It should be on the specific page for the Cycle type in question. Duckbill 10:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A bicycle constructor operating in *which* Flanders?

You have:

• A bicycle constructor operating in Flanders, see Flanders (bikes)

Using the unqualified term "Flanders" in a disambiguation page for "Flanders" kind of doesn't get the baby bathed. This entry needs a re-write. I can't fix it without significant research. This should go back to the original author. I'll remove it for now and it can be reinstated when it's better.
