Local roads. Familiar faces. Shared kilometres.

South Side Cycles hosts free weekly group rides across the Deep South of Cape Town. Built around our local community, we head out early — before work and the busiest traffic — to make riding regularly part of the week.

Our club rides are social, community-led and designed for experienced cyclists who ride consistently and are comfortable riding in a group. Locals and visiting cyclists are welcome, provided the route, distance and pace suit their ability.

We ride on various days of the week, with a mix of social spins and more structured training sessions. Check each ride’s details before joining so you know what to expect.

Come prepared

These are informal club rides, not supported cycling tours. You join and ride at your own risk, and you’re responsible for your own bike, helmet, lights and safety on the road. We do not provide mechanical support, insurance cover or transport.

Looking for something more personal?

Our paid cycling day tours ("Day Escapes") and trips offer guided routes, support and curated experiences. If you’re looking for a premium, organised cycling experience, explore those options. If you’re keen to ride regularly with the local crew, our club rides are where it starts.
