Andreas_187 Posted February 6, 2019 Share I would like to see if this rant is still relevant??? Because the lack of cycling lanes leaving the CBD towards Rondebosch is a joke. Zero enforcement from the City, lanes are deteriorated and even parts dangerous. Estimate how many people use that route on a daily basis? From my experience from the last 2 months easily 50 -100 people daily. Guestimate.... Would like to track and use count to show the City how Shity they are.Th cycle lane on lower main out of town has kinda just disappeared and had been painted black in many places. The one into town is just a liability. It was never thought out by somebody who actually cycles Eddy Gordo, Danger Dassie, Hairy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted February 6, 2019 Share I ride thru there daily. It would be nice if the lane was against the pavement and seperated by bollards from the parking area which should be next to the road. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_A Posted February 6, 2019 Share Does anyone here cycle from CBD area to Century City? Or know the safety of a route from Vredehoek area, via Culemborg onto cycle lanes, through Paarden Eiland, up through Tijgerhof to Canal Walk BMW/Vida/VA area?

(if not, tel them you work in the shipyard at Quay 500 or something) Enter at the bottom of Christian Barnard road. If that gate is closed, just go down toward CTICC and take the first right, to the next gate. Edited February 6, 2019 by MDK!

You would think after an incident like this,(the community says they have lodged several complaints to the City about this drain) that the City would have acted immediately after complaints were received.
