Hi everyone I'm relocating to Johannesburg from CPT in a few months, and keen to find a way to continue urban commuting and riding as much as possible. I would love to ride my kid to school - most likely in Auckland Park, while we will most likely live in Parkhurst. Any thoughts on this route and am I missing any opportunities to take greener/quieter/safer routes? https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5141218813/ And would you ride it with a kid on the back? Thinking of safety in all its dimensions, road and criminal... Road safety wise, I have question marks over whether Rustenburg Rd around melville koppies has a pavement to avoid riding on the road on that busy section, and would dismount to cross Kingsway Avenue...but other than that it's either in green space or residential streets, so hoping..... Thanks for any insights or others that ride any parts of this route with or without kids in tow! I'll ride it alone myself in end September but in the meantime wanted to collect some intel as we decide where to live.
