JKK Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Drove into Durban yesterday behind this guy. Are Taxis now offering bike transport as an additional service?
Wannabe Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 There is a few minibus Taxis riding around in the Cape Town area with bike racks attached. So not entirely unprecedented.
Tumbleweed Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 There is a few minibus Taxis riding around in the Cape Town area with bike racks attached. So not entirely unprecedented. There was a trend up here some years back for taxis to have bike racks fitted. There was usually a 12" or 16" kid's bike attached. Don't see that too much anymore, though.

Fruity Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Seen something like this in and around Pinetown, although nothing as fancy as the bike in the pics.
bikebloke Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 a dale with a lefty seems a bit of an expensive number plate blocker ( unless the money he saves in fines makes it worthwhile which must make him the worlds scariest taxi driver)

Aaaaah, that makes sense...I actually posted a warning issued by the Western Cape roads department, saying that cops would be fining people on their way to the Knysna race at the weekend who lights and number plates were obscured.
Milosh Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Bike rack looks high end to , was it not an Avis hire bus ?

I know there has been a few races in the past, especially north of Pretoria (Kremetart, Bela-Bela, Carousel, etc) where the cops wised up and were harvesting on those days. Not sure if it is still the case.

IMG-20160703-WA0004.jpgIMG-20160703-WA0009.jpgIMG-20160703-WA0005.jpgIt couldn't be a taxi. ALL the taxis in Durban and surrounds are souped up, dropped suspensions and seriaaas sound and some graphics designed.... Perhaps a courtesy bus of some sort? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

RABUBI Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Are you sure that's a taxi and not just a white minibus?
