Only the northern part of Belgium though (Flanders). The rest of the country has quite poor infrastructure for cycling, especially when compared to the Netherlands.

I would love to cycle to work in Brussels but I do not feel comfortable doing so.

I don't know about Brussels specifically, but if you are worried about the volume of the traffic you can probably try cycling in off hours, mainly at night, and/or using the pavements liberally to build up the routine.

I'd not like to cycle in Brussels either. Mostly cause of the (car) traffic there. Neither would I feel that comfortable at night in certain parts of Brussels :D
