The implementation of bicycle lanes in some parts of Cape Town makes it easy to use this human powered vehicle. Not to mention that cycling is a very healthy activity for both body and mind. It lowers stress levels and is a good way to get back in touch with your neighbourhood and the people that live in it. With various bicycle shops in and around Cape Town it’s very easy for the average man on the street to retire from traffic and be a part of the cycling club – there are many different social groups in the city dedicated to riding a bicycle. This switch to cycling can totally transform the face of the transport sector.Cycling can also be used in creative ways to generate income and, since it’s free, NGOs can use it as a tool to uplift communities. This has the possibility to bring about positive change where it’s needed most.

About the bike rack: Now you have somewhere to store your bicycle until the next time you use it. The bike is held up by its own weight and the robust holder is cleverly hidden from sight by the overhang. By placing it on the wall it’s not only out of your way, but it also adds to the aesthetics of the room.
