  1. Cyclists in South Africa are a friendly bunch, and - most of the time - feel a special affinity with other cyclists. Even if they have completely different jobs, lifestyles and backgrounds, they have something in common- cycling. Click here to view the article
  2. Hi guys, My girlfriend, Delene Boonzaaier, passed away on our roads on 14 January 2017. She got killed by a car while out cycling. The accident happened just outside Wellington on the way to Hermon. She was a keen cyclist and very competitive at it as well. It was one of her passions in life. She died while doing what she loved most - CYCLING. We have organised a memorial ride for her in Paarl on Saturday, 18 February 2017. We have been given the go ahead by the traffic department, they will have traffic officials on the route and there will be traffic cars in front and at the back of the group. So we should be safe in traffic. The ride is not a difficult ride, it is about 11km long and mainly flat road going through Paarl traffic. I have attached details of the ride, and some images of the two of us. Please can I ask that you help me get the memorial ride out there so that as many people can be aware of it? Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, or whatever other communication channel you prefer. Please make use of images D1 and D2 and make sure people share. Her death has left a huge hole in me, I am a mess at this moment. My cycling buddy for the past 5 years ripped away from me in an instant. I want to ask (out of the depth of my heart) that as many of you try and make it to her memorial ride. No memorial ride is more important than another memorial ride - so I will try to attend as many of them as possible.The more people at these rides the better because it shows everyone how serious the matter is and that road safety needs urgent attention. It just makes the awareness more bigger - cyclists, cars and other road users need to use the roads together in harmony. Please guys, please spread the word and I would love to see as many of you there on Saturday. I know it is a busy time of the season and everyone is busy training for the Argus, but please, I ask just for one day out of your busy schedule to come and ride with us. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost someone on our roads. I know the pain, it's something that I cannot describe to anyone and it is something that I want no one else to go through. So please the sooner we get the awareness out the better. Please feel free to make contact with me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/brendan.vogt.7 Kind regards, Brendan DELENE BOONZAAIER.pdf
  3. So Stellenbosch has a Bike2Work/Bike2School week from 10-15 October (https://www.facebook.com/stellenboschfietsry/). Is there anything similar being done in Cape Town? PPA? From the Northern suburbs a couple of us will be riding to town together if anyone wants to join. If anyone got connections, why not try to get an hour with Brett Herron sometime in the week? See the council is abiout to release some draft transport plan to get 8% of Capetonians on their bikes by 2032! http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/industry-news/on-your-bike-cape-town-tells-commuters-2076803
  4. It's good to see that work has started on the Constantia to Tokai cycle path with widening of the sidewalk on Kendall to include a cycle lane and signs up at Ladies Mile about NMT improvements. It is great to see and should be completed by summer, I would hope.
  5. Cycling in winter requires more than wearing extra thick and warm attire. It requires an extra amount of vigilance when you’re out on the road in order to keep safe. Click here to view the article
  6. To promote safer cycling for all those who use bicycles, the Safe Cycling Initiative from PPA has specifically targeted motorists through our new campaign. We have recruited high profile celebrities from a non cycling background to personalise and convey our message to all road users to stay wider of the rider. All we are asking for is to give us space and share the road with us. We have print adverts, radio spots, bumper stickers, awareness rides and the new lumo high visibility cycling shirt. Attached are some of personalities we are using. And the bumper sticker.
