Hello. Is the route from Milnerton into the city along the dedicated bus/bike route (i.e. away from the car route) safe during daylight hours. As someone that has just moved to CT and plan to commute on this path I have not seen anyone use the path in the last week? Any advice please.

Where do you start and what times would you be riding?

Starting from Royal Ascot. Time...? still going to have to experiment with that. 7am into town, 5pm out of town?

PM your number to Hairy. He will have you added to a whatsapp group that commute past there. I rarely (twice) commute as my hours are earlier and later most of the time...

I have now for the last 2-3 years commuted from Tableview to Sea Point every day. Besides the three months leading up to the Argus it is a wonderful pleasurable trip.  But from January up until the Argus it is really NOT so pleasurable.  It is not the increase in cyclist but the unfriendliness and some downright rudeness of a lot of these cyclists.  Some think they are on a racetrack and please just get out of the way so they can continue.  No whistle to let you know  they are approaching from behind (we all know you cannot always hear a bike approaching) So make a noise (a nice one) whistle and we get out of the way but to try and actually ride you off the path and then continue with lots of shaking the head, cursing etc.  Really???  Take the car if you want to be rude.  And go and do your speed sprints at Killarney.  The bike path was NOT build to do your speed training on.  People walking to work, runners, kids on skateboards and little ones on their bicycles, they all use this lane.  So please ...be mindful, friendly and respect the other users. :devil:  :)   

Hi

Made my first commute in today from Monte Vista to Woodstock. What your regular times in out the city?
