Pardon the ignorance, but what is the century city railway crossing? I've cycled in the vicinity but didn't know there was a dedicated crossing for us

I stay in Woodstock, and often want to use my bike to go to Milnerton side. The "best" (read least bad) option for me personally is to take the T01 MyCiti between Civic Center and Zoarvlei stations. That way you skip the section of dedicated cycle lane through Paarden eiland (accidentally ended up there a few weeks ago, and it is to be avoided at all costs), as well as the highway section. I know many prefer riding that part on the N1, but personally I dislike it. So I just "skip" the entire section by riding Woodstock to Civic center (about 6 minutes, over the Christiaan Barnard St bridge), and make use of the bike-friendly MyCiti buses to get past Paardeneiland.

No, section that goes through Paardeneiland along the MyCiti route. Do not use it.

Went through there on my own. Didn't know the area and sort of accidentally ended up there, even though I was actively avoiding it. Dodgy as hell. The infrastructure is in good condition, but lots of unsavoury-looking characters. Think I broke my speed record trying to get out of there.

Hi Kevin, I know I'm a bit late to the party.. Do you know the people who were involved here? This sounds identical to my mugging which happened that same week, by the river crossing just after PnP heading towards Delta.

Hi all, has anyone gone there recently? Would be a great trail to squeeze in during my lunch break.
