Rdav001 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Hi everyone Would like to know of any safe (from reckless cars or muggings) cycling routes from the Southern Suburbs into Cape Town CBD. Will be in the afternoon around 4pm. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted January 27, 2022 Share The biggest issue at 4pm would likely be traffic/taxis etc. But hopefully into CBD will be against the worst of it The most common route is likely to be Lieseek Parkway - Lower Main Rd - CBD.

Rdav001 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Thanks Thomo! Yes that's what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure if there was anything funny about that route I needed to be aware of (i.e. hotspot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Just the Circle of Death where Albert, Voortrekker, Durham and Salt River roads meet up for cars, and the bridge over the railway line past River Club for skollies. The rest is mostly uneventful. Rdav001, Greybeardthefool and Pure Savage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Nothing that I've heard of for a while, it's just an uphill stretch near a railway yard with nobody around so worth keeping your eyes open, especially when coming from Obs side. Mamil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadbod Racing Posted January 31, 2022 Share Last week Sunday I tagged along with some riders from Rondebosch Common cause I didn't want to to Lower Main into Town on my own. We bomb through Lower main and turn right to go past the Old Castle Brewery and then to turn left onto the N1 and I know that's a hotspot.... Don't I see some cyclist parked off just above those shacks checking his phone obviously waiting for his friends. I want to live in his world!
