about

iRide Africa was built by cyclists, for cyclists.

Since 2009, we’ve been helping riders from around the world experience Cape Town and the Western Cape in a way that goes beyond the obvious - through carefully chosen routes, quality bikes, and local insight. What started as a small, hands-on operation has grown into a trusted name in Cape Town cycling, built on consistency, local knowledge, and a genuine passion for the sport.

Our Story

Cape Town is one of the world’s great cycling destinations, but riding it properly takes local knowledge.

From understanding wind patterns on Chapman’s Peak, to knowing which Winelands roads are worth riding (and which aren’t), to choosing the right bike setup for the terrain - these are the details that shape a great experience.

iRide Africa is here to bridge that gap.

Over the years, we’ve worked with everyone from casual riders on holiday to experienced cyclists training for major events. The goal has always been the same: make sure every rider gets the most out of their time here.

WHO WE ARE

Our team is made up of local professional cyclists, racers, and trail builders who spend their time on the same roads and trails we recommend to our clients.

That means:

We know the routes

We understand the conditions

And we care about the details that make a ride feel right
