Righto, so I'm a 25y/o female and cycle alone from work in Greenpoint to Milnerton using the cycle route, I've heard its unsafe but I dont know of anyone who could accompany me for the safety reasons and the N1 is outta the question for me. My partner and I cycle to work together but going back is a problem as I havent seen any other cyclists riding on that route at the time I leave. I feel uneasy going back that way on my own as it is very quiet and very easy for people to get mugged along that way if you're on your own, especially being female. Is there anyone who would be willing to accompany me, I am a beginner and have been cycling for about 5 weeks now, training gradually for the argus which I certainly hope to complete I might add lol

Please, if there is somebody out there who would be patient enough to cycle back with me that would be awesome and I would feel alot safer riding with another person or group :)

I finish work at 16:30 Mondays to Thursday (can meet up in Town at roughly 16:45) and finish at 15:30 on a Friday (can meet in Town at roughly 15:45).

Thanks, hope to see some responses soon :))

Hi Steffi. I can say, that the route is pretty safe. Although i am a male and females generally are easier targets, I have never had a problem. There is only one place i know of which is a bit dodgy and that is as you come into parden island under the bridge. instead of using the path in that section, use the bus road but just for that section otherwise the police will pull u over like they did to me. Believe it or not those people in the control room actually do a good job of spying on you with the cameras :)
