Does it suit your travel style?

It is a strong fit if you handle a bike confidently and want a broad introduction to Cape Town early in your stay. The 3.5-hour route combines very different areas rather than staying in the centre.

It may not suit you if traffic, climbs or fast descents make you uncomfortable. It is also unsuitable for people with back problems or those unable to ride a bike.

Travellers with confident bike control. Riders comfortable with climbs and descents. People willing to cycle on roads with traffic. Visitors seeking an early overview of the city.
Wear comfortable cycling clothes and footwear, and consider bringing sunscreen, a sun hat and a camera. Prepare for the ride
