That was a very good video. It's so sad that, in a place where you have all those palm trees and good weather, you have to worry about your personal safety.
Yooo. You are absolutely right. My group used to ride in the bus lane next to the cycle route into town until recently, some mates have had near muggings going into town on the cycle lane from Tableview side. Now we just ride on the main highway, with all the traffic, it's just safer. The City really needs to do something about it, because the traffic into town from Tableview is also insane.
Cheers mate
Thanks for the video. CT local cyclist. I've never ridden in / seen that area due to known dangerous route.
Glad you survived to post the video. Probably not a great idea to cycle around with your camera/phone out in known danger zones. This isn't Europe. But I assume you've been in SA a while if you greet the locals with "Howzit", so I'm guessing you know the dangers.
Cheers, did it and survived it😉👍 Have been here many times and will continue to come to this great country. Shit happens everywhere, but when it comes to cycling "stuff" things need to be addressed and sorted. Hope you'll agree.
I agree. Sort it or close it. Pity because it's actually such nice infrastructure.
Yeah, potentially well dodgy. I'd be on that nice pink wide bus lane as it would be faster and easier to 'escape' a mugger. But I really hope they sort it! Thanks for your vids - I'm hoping to do CTCT next year, that's what brought me to your channel (and yeah, I know this isnt' part of the route!)
Thanks for making this. I would give you a 1000 likes if I could, will also share it. Bloody madness indeed. There is one safe alternative, which is to use the bus to get through the dangerous part. A bit inconvenient, and difficult to find space during peak commuting hours, but much safer than the cycle lane or the motorway.
thank you 👍
@@BicycleBeyond , for another "fun commute" on a failed bike lane in Cape Town you can try Albert Road through Woodstock, towards the southern suburbs.
Never been to SA, watched lots of your videos (you're always so positive)and know many SAfricans who've moved to Perth, sad to say it looks like this beautiful country is in terminal decline.
You should come to SA, it is a beautiful country. This is just one of the areas which they need to get a grip on. Problems need to be pointed out, sure you'll have a few in Perth too.
Cycling tips from Arnold.
Very cheeky you are😉
If only we had such good bike lanes in the UK, a country which prides itself on its new "Active Travel" policies.
