@alanwinde @carteblanchetv @CityofCT @geordinhl @helenzille I see CPT is the worst in traffic congestion in SA. If only this were a cycle safe & friendly city, you could aim to get more people to commute via bicycle. #HealthyLiving #SafetyFirst #Extreme #Ownership

@CityofCT @AlanWinde666 @helenzille @carteblanchetv @geordinhl Yip, blame it on someone else and wash your hands, until somebody gets killed. Who will you blame then? Time to look into the mirror and reflect on your actions, or rather non action.

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@AlanWinde666 @helenzille @carteblanchetv @CityofCT @geordinhl The city created the bike path through Woodstock Mile and they created the problem. If there is no will to secure it, why not remove/close it rather than warning cyclists away. This is unbelievable...

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@CityofCT @AlanWinde666 @helenzille @carteblanchetv @geordinhl Surely, you can secure the area by maintaining the fences, CCTV, and lights. I find there is no will from the city to provide a safe bike path. There is zero maintenance happening. It looks like a war zone... What happened to the cycle friendly vision for CPT?

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @CityofCT @geordinhl @carteblanchetv This morning, a traffic officer stopped me on the Woodstock Mile. Wanted to know if I am aware of the danger, and I should not be riding here. Really? Can the city not just fix the root cause! If we should not ride here, close it.

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @geordinhl @CityofCT @PedalPowerPPA @helenzille @IanCameron23 @jsteenhuisen @allcapetown @carteblanchetv What is that now? It must be about 22 attacks in the same vicinity in the last 7 or 10 days, with the only reaction is to put up warning signs and sending out stay away coms! Really?!

And that is just the attacks we know about...

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @geordinhl @CityofCT @PedalPowerPPA The security situation on the bikepath from Blouberg is now out of control with little to no reaction from the city. This is a poor reflection on you all. Social media is abuzz with the attacks on the defenseless cyclists in CPT!

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @geordinhl @CityofCT @PedalPowerPPA @helenzille @IanCameron23 @jsteenhuisen @allcapetown @carteblanchetv Wow, it seems to be open season on Cyclists in Capetown with very little if any attention been given by the Capetown authorities. Just excuses for not being able to make this a cycle friendly city, which it is clearly not.

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @CityofCT @geordinhl another two attacks on cyclists this morning in and around the Woodstock Mile. You just don't care, do you? ~zero response zero action~ @PedalPowerPPA #Capetown #SafetyFirst #cycling #attacks #security #SouthAfrica #cyclists #Zero #location

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @CityofCT @geordinhl Morning, you been out cycling lately on the bike paths? Guess not. Apart from the Woodstock & Paarden Island Miles disgrace, this is the Milnerton Mile. I see it, but can't believe it. #Capetown #SafetyFirst #cycling

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

This reply from 30 Sep. No action to date, multiple attacks on cyclists here. #Capetown #SafetyFirst #cycling

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

Let's make this a cycle friendly @CityofCT. This is what the bike path looks like on the Woodstock Mile. Nice going chaps! @alanwinde @geordinhl. You will see me on the buslane...

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@geordinhl @CityofCT In the meantime, maybe just fix the bike path and make it safe through the Woodstock Mile. #really

@geordinhl @alanwinde @CityofCT We took visitors to Tablemountain and Signal Hill yesterday and how disgusting filthy were the ablution facilities on Signal Hill. I was embarrassed, my guests nauseous, and other visitors could not believe the state! Really?!

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

@alanwinde @geordinhl @CityofCT Every time I cycle the bike path through the Woodstock Mile, I get angry at your #silence, lack of #action, #donotcare and #ostrich head under the sand #attitude re this massive #investment. #Warzone #Dangerous #CapeTown

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

The security car sits behind me on the buslane through Woodstock Mile, keeping me safe. The traffic car, hoots, put sirens on and wave arms to get me off the bus lane onto the dark & dangerous bike path.

Who cares the most, do you think? @alanwinde @geordinhl @CityofCT

[Johan Marais 🇿🇦 @JohanAMarais]

Again this morning @alanwinde @geordinhl your traffic team gave me sirens and hooters to get me off the buslane onto the dark bike lane. Are you for real?

I continue to be surprised by your attitude.
