Cape Town - Renowned for its Cape Argus Cycle Tour and the less competitive Moonlight Mass, Cape Town has a more than healthy bicycling fraternity - and the existing cycling routes are set for a smart upgrade.

 

 

Ride Your City has announced in a press release that the Cape Town Bicycle Map, in print since 2011, is now available online – in both website and smart phone editions (Android, IOS and Windows mobile).

 

 

The first version of the online map includes all the information presented on the print map as well as additional functionality, such as pan and zoom, bookmarks, search, and pop-up information boxes.

"The Cape Town Bicycle Map was developed to highlight cycling infrastructure and connecting routes to encourage more people to cycle," says Gail Jennings, sustainable mobility specialist and publisher of the Bicycle Map series.

 

"We have identified a network of safer, connected routes (recommended by people who cycle regularly on our roads), located bicycle infrastructure, parking, and bicycle-friendly venues, and included information about cyclists’ rights, responsibilities and signage."

 

 

The online map covers Cape Town CBD, the South Peninsula and West Coast.
