UPCOMING EVENTS
BIKE PATROLLERS PROGRAM LAUNCH
18 OCTOBER
7H30
NIROX Lawn Pavilion Café
Join us for the launch of the Bike Patrollers Program at the Cradle of Humankind, a destination loved by cyclists for its breathtaking 37km loop, smooth roads, and sweeping views across heritage landscapes.
Riders flock here for the freedom, the flow, and the chance to push limits in one of South Africa's premier cycling hotspots. This launch takes the shape of a coffee ride, bringing cyclists together not just for the joy of the ride but to create awareness around this vital road safety initiative.
In partnership with the Pedal Power Association (PPA), the program blends community presence with road safety education, ensuring every ride is respected, every cyclist is visible, and everyone makes it home safely.
Please RSVP to liz@pedalpower.org.za by 3 October or at the link below.
All RSVP'd guests will receive complimentary access to the NIROX Sculpture Park.
