New cycle route planned for Western Cape

22 Jul 2015
Comments | 0

A NEW cycling route that

will stretch from Cape

Town to Plettenberg

Bay has been proposed

by Project Khulisa, to grow

the Western Cape tourism

sector. The route is planned

for completion in five years,

with the first 160km between

Plettenberg Bay and Mossel

Bay expected to be completed

in the next two years.

Premier cycling races, such

as the Cape Town Cycle Tour,

the Absa Cape Epic and the

Cape Rouleur, generate in

excess of R700 million for

the economy each year. “We

envisage that this route will

have the same global appeal,

launching it to the top of

travellers’ bucket lists,”

said Alan Winde, Western

Cape Minister of Economic

Opportunities.

The development of the

route will begin with an

audit of all the current

cycle tracks and signage

as well as the bike services

sector. The existing tracks

will be incorporated into the

new route.
