Description
Tour the city of Cape Town from the unique vantage point of a vintage motorbike sidecar. Head into the city dressed for the occasion in retro riding gear including leather jackets, goggles, helmets and bandanas. Once fully-kitted, enjoy the unique experience of cruising around the Western Cape on a round trip from the Cape Peninsula to Cape Point. Notable stops along the way include a cruise through the Company’s Garden, and viewing the incredible artworks and exhibitions on display. Once you have passed Camps Bay and made it to the lookout on Chapmans Peak Drive, riders hop off the bikes, have a drink and a snack, and snap keepsake pictures of the tranquil and awe-inspiring seaside views.

Did you know
All the sidecars at Cape Sidecar Adventures are decommissioned military bikes originally used by the People’s Liberation Army of China between the early 1950s and mid-1970s. They are known as 750cc’s and are based on the old German BMW R71 used extensively during World War II. These sidecars have been fully refurbished and modified to suit South African Road traffic requirements.
