Polkadraai. With a Devon Valley detour if you wish to ride Bottelary.

 

What is the safest route in and out of Stellenbosch if riding towards the Durbanville/Brackenfell area?

Jip, still a hotspot

that´s very sad to hear.

planning to come to stellies for 4 weeks. atm it looks like i have to do it on my own :mellow:

should i generell avoid also R44 and R310?

there are thousands of cyclist every single day on the roads passed these hotspots.  Just hang around a bit if you don't want to go past alone and cycle with them.

 

I cycle alone 99.999% of the time and , touch wood, had no any issues so far.

The red in the image are the areas I completely avoid and the amber section on the R310 is safer to ride, I would still try to do it in a group if possible, as Karman mentioned there are loads of cyclists so just ride the section in a group if possible.

Two well dressed guys tried to rob me this morning (09:00) just past the camera (towards Bottelary). The one guy was sitting on the stairs while the orher one was standing on the pavement, “hiking”. I was aware of them and was riding on the right hand side of the yellowline. Just as I came in line with them the guy on the pavement jumped at me and tried grabbing me on the left rear pocket. I was in the right gear so I swerved out and accelerated.

 

Luckily all good!

Safe riding
