One thing I've always wondered is what do they intend to do if they see a car coming? A lot of roads have no shoulders and high kerbs, so there's no room to go. Do they intend to try and hop onto the kerb? How is that safer than just riding with traffic? Not to mention you have so much less reaction time and cars aren't expecting people to be coming from that direction, so many won't even bother to look there before pulling into the road.

Ah, fun topic. So far my only significant injury, fractured clavicle in mid-October. It was a very uncomfortable few days leading up to the surgery, as the displaced piece was poking and scraping directly up against the skin. Doctor said I was lucky it didn't actually break through the skin.

Not really. Most of it is okay, but there's a stretch from Paarden Eiland through to the city that has been a hotspot for years. The alternative is to take Marine Drive onto the N1, but that has its own risks, and the area around the Woodstock exit has become a major hotspot recently.

So I'm guessing then that stretch of the cycle path is still pretty unsafe to get through? Is there any alternative for getting from Milnerton side into CBD that doesn't involve using the N1?
