October is National Transport Month and the City of Cape Town is hosting a Mini Cycling Tour which will be taking place in Goodwood tomorrow October 23rd to encourage the public to use alternative transport instead of relying exclusively only on private vehicles.
City of Cape Town’s David Sampson says “the purpose of the mini cycling tour that we are having is to actually highlight alternative transport modes and raise a level of awareness in the public to let them realise that there are not only cars that are an option.”
Sampson also says that cycling is a clean, fun and cheap mode of transportation. “This is what we are trying to achieve and this what we are trying to promote as part of National Transport Month.”
