Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 13, 2015 Share So for the other 364 days of the year where along that road are bicycles allowed to start riding? I obviously only ride in that lekker city once a year.in short - nowhere. M3 is a no cycle zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted March 13, 2015 Share in short - nowhere. M3 is a no cycle zoneDoes edingburgh drive fall into that? I can understand the part from town to the varsity and then "the blue route" but the part in the middle before paradise motors and up what I saw on Sunday is now called momentum hill.

It was weird for me in 2013 when I was in Vancouver to see cyclists on the highway from Vancouver to Squamish / Whistler. Aparently they just hop on their bikes after work on a Friday and cycle through, meet up with family / friends and then cycle back on the Sunday. Imagine having something similar to the sea-to-sky highway here... http://www.whistler.com/pdf/brochures/sea-to-sky-highway-road-cycling-safety.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are legally allowed there, since it's not a freeway. But it's still dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same here.That is a beautiful road though, but right from Vancouver next to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan Le Cok Posted March 13, 2015 Share At least us roadies know which roads we should be riding on unlike these crazy MTB folk There are lots of homeless MTB riders around at the moment. With the fires at Tokai and Jonkershoek they are riding around scared and afraid looking for sanctuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you visit a country, you make yourself aware of the rules. I don't get into my car in the USA and drive on the left hand side of the road, I ensure that I understand the rules. It is a visitors obligation to be aware of laws in a country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
