TCTG Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Its a real shame that this happened but these guys are not trained to deal with antagonistic situations in a more conducive service orientated manner. I therefore hold those in power responsible for their actions. I bet you the guy in charge of them is a drill sergeant, maybe an ex military guy so it wont be a surprise that he drilled this reactive behavior into them. I hope they solve this problem so that it never gets repeated again in future.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 .The entry at own risk part at the bottom is ironic.
Patchelicious Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 .Do they allow the vehicles to ride on the trails?
Man with no name Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Has anyone had an update on this since Nich came out of hospital? Wonder if this will be dealt with out of court

Shebeen Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 “I go there on a daily basis. That is one of my routes. Table Mountain is more like a bump when I’m in good shape. It’s good to go up Table Mountain and make it feel like a climb. Table Mountain is one of my weaknesses, it is one of the most beautiful climbs to do and obviously Signal Hill as well. We have the best scenery for cycling in South Africa and more probably in Cape Town,” says 23-year-old Dlamini. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/184404-the-unofficial-nic-dlamini-fanclub-thread/?p=3599417
Hairy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Isn't that part of the rules to carry it on you? Otherwise what's the point?!not being funny here, but if sanparks just simply made parks boards "bike boards" it would really assist the rangers with their patrolling and also allow riders to also call out riders without a up to date board. this would mean that they either have to go to an annual renewal for the beginning of the year like most cycle clubs, so the first year could be a little rock .... and day users could certainly get a wax paper reinforced board (given the high entry price, it should be covered in this cost) for a day permit? looking for solutions here.

He's referring to signal Hill, tafelberg road and the climbs from camps bay to the Nek.
Hairy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I like this. But now having a MTB board and a Parks Board it is going to kill my Strava times. The weight and wind resistance. I might as well ride illegally and try and outrun the popo. Just ride down wind on your Strava runs and it will act as a sail .... think positively man!
DieselnDust Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Do they allow the vehicles to ride on the trails?are there trails in a picnic area?

For those of us whose ancestors managed to read the Groot trek route map and now find ourselves on the proper side of the Orange river but will be visiting soon, which routes require a permit to ride a ROADBIKE on a TAR road ?

None, except for this stretch in Silvermine. (as far as I know)

With big signs and pictures usually telling you what is allowed and how. It's not a secret. People here are painting it out to be but in reality, to get into/onto the tar roads that require a permit, you need to pass booms and signs. If done between 7:00 and 19:00, said booms will be manned. So Silvermine and Cape Point reserve spring to mind.
