Starting to work in Killarney Gardens in July. It should be safe to ride down Blaauwberg road, but will the stretch (Potsdam Rd) from Toyota to the first gate in Killarney Gardens be safe? Anybody on Hub doing this commute? Your feedback will be much appreciated.

I sometimes ride that side when I have intervals to do on Tikkie or loverslane. It's not ideal but I've never had an issue, what I'll usually do is ride the cycle path on blaauwberg road, then the bus lane over the bridge, then the cycle path again on potsdam. Lots of pedestrian on that one, but so far never had any issue

Shot thanks. Was thinking the same going on the Cycle path - Potsdam. Inside the yellow line will be a bit dangerous with the taxis, but less pedestrians.

my bad I misread you post, I thought you'd turn right after blaauwberg but you're turning left. Okay so yeah I ride there often pretty much every time killarney is on. When I ride that piece of road I stay on the yellow line, the pavement isn't rideable. On the way back I use the bus lane.

It always feel a bit dodge as theres tons and tons of pedestrians walking to and from dunoon, I'm always extra alert, never had an issue, but I'd rate it a little more dodge than the koeberg side of that road
