CYCLING'S SUPER SUNDAY

Bicycling South Africa

March / April 2025

THE CAPE TOWN CYCLE TOUR IS ICONIC AS A BIKE RACE, AND AS AN EVENT THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER FROM ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA.

- DAVID MOSELEY

CYCLING'S SUPER SUNDAY

LIKE THE COMPONENTS THAT COMBINE to create the perfect bicycle, the Cycle Tour is made up of many moving parts.

You might think it’s just something you arrive at on Sunday morning and leave later in the day after (hopefully) enjoying your ride, but that’s not even half the story. From refreshment station crew to elite athletes to the physios at the massage tables, everyone involved has a unique perspective on the event. Yet on one thing they all agree: it’s a day like no other. A coming together of everything that makes cycling, Cape Town and the events community of South Africa some of the best in the world.

Ahead of this year’s ride, we spent some time with a few of the people who make the CTCT an annual must-do spectacle.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER TOBIAS GINSBERG

If you’ve marvelled at some of the imagery from just about any of the big cycling events in South Africa, chances are you’ve seen Tobias Ginsberg’s work. As one of this country’s most prolific lensmen, he’s honed a lifetime of photography experience to produce some of the most iconic shots from the Cape Town Cycle Tour and many other events.
