The cost to send you wheels with insurance is very costly

Maybe avoiding the area is not an option, how are we supposed to get into town from Tableview (no, I'm not jumping on a myciti bus). The Berkeley road/Amazon route isn't much better, probably more dangerous going through Woodstock

It will hardly be a surprise attack over this stretch of road. I came through there this morning on the harbour side and a guy was running across the highway to get to us

Maybe! Maybe not! Yes, he looked like Clint Eastwood coming round the corner. It was F Epic

I was cycling in on Sunday, I stopped on the N1 overpass because there were 3 guys by Womag. I waited a few minutes but no cars came and then from nowhere Mr X came round the corner. He had seen me and was now riding one handed with a GLOCK at the ready. He was strong as hell so no problem riding one handed. It was fantastic, thank you

Yes. An 11sp chain on 10sp groupset shifts better

I don't want to share the email responses that I have had. Apart from the officials who push the blame elsewhere there is a specific task team who have been assigned to this.

I have been in contact with various city officials and I believe the ball is now rolling and action will be taken. Let's see what happens over the next 2 weeks...

Likewise. He was full of excuses and I told him exactly that. It's very easy for them to shift the blame. I don't give them 55 excuses when I pay my rates and taxes

I drove over Woodstock bridge in my car and was shocked to see the state of that whole section. Surely it is safer to cycle straight past the castle?

Just bombard these guys with emails. It costs you nothing Louis Cason <Louis.Cason@capetown.gov.za> Cc: alan.winde@westerncape.gov.za; david@cycletour.co.za; Mayor <Mayor.Mayor@capetown.gov.za>; Ald Jean-Pierre Smith <JeanPierre.Smith@capetown.gov.za>

Don't change the whole race because the top 5 want to cheat a bit

Here's his contact details https://www.capetown.gov.za/family and home/meet-the-city/city-council/find-your-councillor-ward-or-subcouncil/view-councillor?CouncillorId=8183

His position within the DA has changed but I'm pretty sure he is still responsible for safety and security.

You're absolutely right. Cyclists are dicks 7 days a week along that route. On the other hand I often have to drive along Camps Bay/Clifton/Sea Point behind motorists driving less than 40km/h and I don't see any motorists hooting them. A couple of cyclists hammering along there at 45km/h and all hell breaks loose.
