Bicycles bicycles everywhere
posted by Kerry-Anne
Yesterday saw 35,000 cyclists taking on the winding hills of the Cape Peninsula, in the the largest timed cycling event in the world, the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour. Yesterday's 109km race was won by a South African, Robbie Hunter, in a fitting celebration of the event's 30th anniversary (not only because he's a South African, but also because he himself will be celebrating his 30th birthday next month!). I took this shot in Camps Bay, which is pretty close to the finish, and on the flat. The city was absolutely overflowing with people this weekend - as much as HALF of the income brought in by Cape Town's top 5 events each year comes from the cycle tour alone.

I cannot imagine 35,000 bicycles in one place anywhere much less on a single route from somewhere to another place. It must be exciting to see so many people on bicycles and standing by just watching.
Thank you for stopping to look at my cardinal.
