American Flyers Posted December 22, 2010 Share I often ride there and it is beatiful ride. It is better to ride in the early the morning when the road is quiet.I think the road is safe, but some section the road is quite narrow. Just keep your eyes open...

The_Break Posted December 22, 2010 Share I do it often. It is very safe to do so, but certain sections of road are narrow with little yellow line as states. Only place I have ever had issues is the little narrow bridge about 5km from Gordon's bay. There is not enough space for a bike and car so make sure you got a safe ride through there. Otherwise never had issues with people as the road is too busy. One of the most beautiful rides in the worlds!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big H Posted December 23, 2010 Share Not suited for bunch riding of even two abreast. Stick to the rules and remember there is almost NO shoulder. The road leads to Hermanus where the rich oke stay..... sooo 4x4's with big bullbars...... but it is scenic and nice to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted December 23, 2010 Share Rode from Betty's Bay to Gordons Bay and back one of the best rides i've had, no wind and the sea was like glass. Great ride and great views. Traffic not a big problem they dont tend to burn it through there. Edited December 23, 2010 by Ceres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 24, 2010 Share Will probably be riding to GB tomorrow from Kleinmond (pm ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoosh1973 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Guys guys guys...... Lets rephrase the question. Is it safe riding any road with no shoulder where you the rider is forced to share the same space with cars? OR Is its safe riding a road with no shoulder where the rider shares the same space with cars where the road also contains many twists and turns? OR Is it safe riding a road with no shoulder where you the rider has to share the same space on a road with many twists and turns of which road also offers stunning scenery to distract the concentration of motorists spending time admiring the beutifull scenery? ORIs it safe riding a road with no shoulder where you the rider has to share the same space as cars on a road that tempts motorcyclists and people in "fast" cars with fur on the dash board to "push the corners" because it is so twisty? This Gordans bay to Rooi Els is exactly what is described above. Maybe some of you have riden this road 3 times a week for years with no incident yet..... but that does not make it a safe road.Remember it is the festive season and tis road is allot bussier than usual. FOOL YOURSELF AT YOUR OWN PERIL.

Gravity Posted December 29, 2010 Share i would like to know the stats, how many people on bikes that are clipped or hit on roads with no shoulder compared to roads with a large shoulder. I think that we will all be suprized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted December 29, 2010 Share I would be more worried about about some of the bikers that use that road. Some of them think of it as their personal raceway. I used to ride on my 'Blade there and some of the bikers were just plain crazy, going way faster than their talent. I am also interested since I also want to do that ride often after I have built up my roady. I have only recently rejoined cycling as cross-training for my surf ski racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
