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.

Cyclelane with a View.

Yesterday i went on a little leisure trip on my cycle, I started from my home in Green Point, cycled along the Main Road down to the Sea Point Promenade, went along the Promenade to the pools, turned around went back to Mouille Point and home again through Green Point Park.
When cycling as oppose to driving in a car you notice all the little things going on. Here are a few pictures of what I saw on my trip.

Where the Madness begins.



I spotted this green arrow for the first time, I am not sure what it is pointing at.
 To really get to know your city, you must get out of the car and get to appreciate those little things.

Having a Braai, the Bicycle Way.

Saturday afternoon we decided to go Braai, resulting in best of both worlds, Denmark= Cycling, South Africa= Braai.
We packed the braai equipment on our bikes and headed for Maidens Cove Braai area, a 30 minutes cycle from our home in Green Point. The weather played its part and it was a wonderful afternoon, with the best lamb chops I have had in a long time.

Parking the bikes in the shade to prevent the saddels getting to hot.

It is spring time and even Maidens Cove had a few flowers, like these pretty purple ones.

Taking the Cycle for a Ride, the South African Way.

In my opinion cycles does not belong on cars, just like birds does not belong in cages.
Come one Cape Town set the cycles free..!
