Cois Posted April 14, 2006 Share Question: Is there a saFe place to cycle in Pretoria?I live in Meyerspark.? My cycle route goes to Lynwood Road and then hitting the subs But every time I try a safe route there is a monkey who will try to kill me.? I dont know why every car tries to kill a cyclist. Is there a save place to cycle solo.? Road or MTB? Many Thanks Cois vanwa_mordo38822.5969560185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikwiel Posted April 14, 2006 Share I think u mean to say.....SAFE place.....that being the case....I would advise that u consider joining a club.....Select Cycling Club which is based at Bruce Reyneke Cycles in Lynwood is probably your best bet. The weekend rides currently start at 06h30 at the shop.....good luck!smileys/smiley2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canaris Posted April 15, 2006 Share Safe ish route: Roodeplaat dam. (65km)Safe ish (but a bit "illegal") Harties on the bottom tollgate-Sartjes (45km)Safe early in the day(On weekends/sunday only): Pretoria North-Roslyn-Mudunsa-Britz-Harties-Hornsnek-graveyard-moot. (80km+) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted April 15, 2006 Share Sounds like fun. Will give it a try once in a while. Any one know the Lynwood Bapsfontein rigel ave route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canaris Posted April 15, 2006 Share Oops, that is in the East, possibly safe....Try in the city, Nelson Mandela-Klapperkop- Sydney, back to Brooklyn, around the circle at fountains and up Nelosn again. THe Klapperkop bit can be dangerous (muggings) but is popular on weekends. I suggest using Sydney on the up though (Pretoria Country Club) as this has speed bumps in it which slow the few cars down further.smileys/smiley4.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
