Mini Cycles.

I went to Hout Bay today and spotted these little cycles, they look so real, but they are only about 10 cm tall. I do prefer cycles to be on the road and not just used as decoration, but these two little ones are just too cute.

They look very real, it is only the items in the background that shows the dimensions.

A Dahon Folding Bicycle with a Clever Bag Carrier.

I think folding bicycles are very handy and convenient for transportation in urban spaces, and this one even had a little clip to hang a bag on, so it does not unbalance the cycle.

I saw the bicycle at Prestwich Memorial in Green Point.

Something is Brewing.

Something is brewing at Waterfront, I just wish I knew what it was. I really hope the see these tri-cycles on the roads and not in boxes. (Set the Cycles Free)


A Cycle Store with Bicycles..!

And Yes, the kind of cycles I like.

I visited Woodstock Cycleworks a little while back, and wow beautiful bikes, the kind with chain guards, mud guards and baskets.. Old and neglected cycles from garages and garden shacks, that has been made up, pampered and pimped into little works of art. How lovely that these cycles again get to meet tar. This is what I like to see, cycles being set free. I have blogged about setting the cycles free before, read it here  Taking the Cycle for a Ride, the South African Way.


If you like cycling and real cycles please do yourself a favour and visit Woodstock Cycleworks. 

Check out the pictures below for a small preview of what the store has to offer.

A Cargo Bike in Cape Town:-)

The cycle cab is parked outside the Cape Grace hotel.
The sign at the back says, “Cape Grace, Guests in Motion”




On this occasion the cycle is going from the waterfront to the hotel, but I ones saw it going up to the cable car station on Table Mountain, keeping that in mind I suppose it is good that it has an electrical motor.
