The Cape Town Cycle Tour is the biggest timed cycling race in the world, drawing over 30,000 riders each year to the beautiful city of Cape Town. On March 9, excitement fills the air as streets turn into a colorful festival of cyclists and cheering fans. From the starting line to scenic spots like Whineberg Hill and Glencairn Beach, spectators gather to witness the determination and spirit of the racers. As the event wraps up at Sea Point, families and friends celebrate together, making the tour a heartfelt celebration of community and endurance, uniting everyone in joy and cheer.
The Mayor of Cape Town has announced a plan to level Suikerbossie Hill, which is widely supported by the city’s cycling community. The plan aims to change the geography of the municipality and rectify what the Mayor calls a “colossal mistake.” The rubble resulting from the demolition will be donated to Johannesburg for repairing potholes. The decision has been met with enthusiasm, and the city prepares to bid farewell to the notorious hill.
