How much money do I save?

Recommended Posts

Not sure if we were neighbours, but there is always a possibility. One can always use the Old JHB road ( R101 )after Centurion, but that road is so busy in the mornings and afternoons. And if you go through the suburbs ( back roads ), you will take forever.

 

Used to live almost on the corner of 14th and Naude.  Old JHB Road is simply suicidal. I would go through Hatfield, Fountains, Kloofsig, Centurion, Rooihuiskraal into Midrand but after that I wont be able to help you as to the best possible route in morning traffic.

Commuting on bicycle in peak traffic? Seems extremely dangerous.

 

Between Sandton and Randburg there's often singletrack off the tar

Your car is heavy on juice!

 

Luckily my office is 1km from my house  :clap:

Ja! I only drive about 7500km per year, therefore didn't really worry about fuel economy when I bought it - was cheap as well. (My trail bike is insured for more than the car :ph34r:.) Live 2.5km from work now, but extend my commute to +-8km. If I take the direct route, the bike is quicker than the car due to traffic.

We have bicycle lanes off the roadway where I live so it's pretty safe as long as you look both ways when crossing intersections
