OPINION | The dynamics of Cape Town’s roads changed last week Sunday, offering a glimpse of what it and other SA cities could become if road spaces were equitably shared between the minority private transportation user and the rest of us.
In 1977, engineer Bill Mylrea and architect John Stegmann set out to advocate for a safe cycling network that would keep riders safe and allow commuters to get to and from work safely.
In 1977, The Big Ride In was organised under the auspices of the newly formed Western Province Pedal Power Association . Its objective was to demonstrate that a large number of people rode bikes, which it achieved by attracting hundreds of cyclists to ride into Cape Town’s city centre, including the City Hall, Grand Parade, Adderley Street and the foreshore.
To those, we are already working with to solve our cycling network, thank you. Dedicated cycling lanes can provide a safe and dignified means of transportation for many where physical barriers such as bollards, planters or curbs can make a world’s difference.
