Chapman’s Peak Drive
Ardent cyclists would enjoy cycling from the CBD to Hout Bay. But if you are strapped for time, you can drive to Hout Bay and start your trip from there. Chapman’s Peak is famous as the most scenic marine drive in the world. Through the route, you can enjoy numerous fantastic views over Hout Bay. But the road has many twists and turns and is quite steep, and once you reach the top you can freewheel into the village of Noordhoek on the other side.

Constantia Greenbelt
The Constantia Greenbelt has numerous trails that take cyclists through the lush areas of the suburb of Constantia. The rolling vineyards of Constantia’s wine farms are the best to meander through on your cycling tour. The cyclists will find all the trails marked with directional arrows acting as an easy guide. For beginners, the Alphen and Klaasenbosch are relatively easy as there are no big climbs and only a few short descents. Cyclists will find the trail quite picturesque, winding past rivers and through fields, gardens, and trees.

Cape Winelands
The Helshoogte Pass is a scenic biking route situated above Stellenbosch with views over the beautiful vineyards of the Cape Winelands. Stellenbosch is linked to the R45 road, lying between the charming wine-producing towns of Paarl and Franschhoek. Thousands of cyclists hit the road during summer for the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour, which takes cyclists along some of the most scenic roads where mountains and lush vineyards serve as a backdrop. However, the view from the Helshoogte Road route is rewarding and the descent is easy.
