Bicycles for Decoration, not for Cycling. (Say What???)



Two cycles decorating the Puma store at Waterfront, black one is a folding bicycle, nice space to carry stuff at the front, BUT I have never seen any of these on the road.



A rather funny triangle bicycle, with storage space at the back. This cycle is bound to attract some attention, if it was ever to meet the road.




Bicycle used to sell wine at Vaughan Johnsons wine shop also at waterfront. I wonder if the bicycle is responsible for the delivery of wine all over the world. (in which case I forgive it for being retired)


Last but not least these two bicycles decorating a Farm Stall/Restaurant in Montagu.




This cycle is maybe a little to small for me, but just my type of cycle.
I would love to own it.
I wish all of these cycles were on the roads and not just decorations. I have said it before: Please Cape Town, set the cycles free.

Using bicycles to promote Cape Town, Route 62 and Garden Route.


I wonder if this is actually and add for Holland?? The orange cycle with the Dutch flag on and all... But the CCID definitely know how to make Cape Town look cycle friendly.  
It is just too bad that there is absolutely no information about cycling in the booklet.
Hmmm, False advertisement???



On the other hand “Your Travel Companion” who published these two travel maps for Garden Route and Route 62 managed to capture an actual part of rural life in South Africa.

City Cycling vs Village Cycling.

Myself and BF has left Cape Town for a little while to get away from the hectic city life. We have made McGregor our home for the next month.

It is the most beautiful little village with cute little cottages and real country friendliness.

On the cycling front I have been most surprised, in the last 2 days I have seen more people cycling in McGregor than I have in the last 2 months in Cape Town, that is quite impressive considering that there is less than 4000 people in McGregor. However I have not managed to see one female cyclist, so I am still special :-D
Me in front of our cottage, with the folding bicycles.
On our first little trip in the area.
