Cycle Hire in Cape Town

Cape Town is a South African coastal city with amazing cycling roads and trails. It is not just the 2nd most populated urban city in South Africa but also the provincial capital of the Western Cape Province and the legislative capital of South Africa (the national Parliament is seated here). Cyclists often come to this city all year round in great numbers for leisure and adventure. It is situated in the South-West corner of the nation close to the Cape of Good Hope, and is recognised to have a less tropical climate, being typically Mediterranean, than the rest of South Africa, for perfect conditions on 2 wheels. Cape Town is also a small distance from the world-famous vineyards in the Cape Winelands, around Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Enthusiastic cyclists are given the option of hires in either Cape Town or the Winelands so that you can keep on exploring the scenic surroundings with a convenient delivery/collection service provided if required.

Our Cape-based cycling day tours always offer an exciting way for tourists to discover beautiful Cape Town and its surrounding landscape. With continuously changing scenery from sea shore and mountains to undulating countryside, tourists are less likely to get bored whilst riding on two wheels and lunching and touring all across the areas with us. You can go for hires in Cape Town or elsewhere and ride the bicycle that suits you best (Road or MTB, guided or non-guided) to enable you to sightsee the Cape in your own way.

Cyclists will be able to enjoy the best of the Mother City whilst also helping you improve your health in the process! Cycle hire in Cape Town is also more affordable, often much faster than motor vehicles and contributes to the aspiration of a greener city for all.

There are no safety concerns as open road tours are planned along the quiet scenic routes to accommodate both motorists and cyclists safely, with hard shoulders used wherever possible. This, along with the cheaper alternative of cycle hire in Cape Town, makes a cycling tour a safe and pleasant activity for tourists of all ages and abilities.
